What is Ethylene Glycol CAS 107-21-1?
Ethylene glycol (EG) also known as mono ethylene glycol,meg ethylene glycol,EG,MEG. It is a colorless, odorless, bittersweet-tasting liquid that has many household and commercial uses. Ethylene glycol is a "toxic alcohol", meaning that although chemically it is similar to ethanol (the active component of alcoholic beverages), it is much more poisonous if consumed.
Physical and Chemical properties

A colourless, odourless, syruplike liquid It will completely dissolve in water.
Melting Point: -13°C
Boiling Point: 197°C

Which products contain ethylene glycol?
Automotive antifreeze, containing 95% ethylene glycol, is the most common source of EG poisoning. EG is also found in certain brake fluids, windshield-washer fluids, de-icers, cosmetics, adhesives, ink, detergents, fire extinguishers, paints, pesticides, and polishes.
What is monoethylene glycol (MEG) used for?
Mono ethylene glycol (MEG), with CAS 107-21-1, is a versatile chemical widely used across industries. Its key applications include:
1.Polymer Precursor: A vital plastic industry ingredient, MEG is crucial for polyester production. It reacts with terephthalic acid to form polyethene terephthalate (PET), used in bottles, containers, and textiles. Roughly 70-80% of MEG consumption goes to polyester manufacturing.
2.Antifreeze: MEG's ability to lower water's freezing point makes it essential for antifreeze, coolants, and deicers. Mixed with water, it can reduce the freezing temperature to -45 °C.
3.Other Uses: MEG chemical helps make alkyd resins for paints. In the gas industry, it removes water vapor and acts as a desiccant. It's a capacitor production intermediate in electronics, prevents wood decay, aids vaccine production, and is in cleaners when paired with isopropyl alcohol.
4.Raw Material in the Production of Polymers: Ethylene glycol EG is a fundamental raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and polyethylene terephalate (PET) resins.These polymers can be used to make a wide variety of products such as textiles, tire cord, video tapes, and also beverage bottles.
