Ethylene Glycol (20 Kg)
Ethylene glycol is primarily used as an antifreeze and coolant in vehicles and other machinery. It is also a key ingredient in the production of polyester fibers and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (used for plastic bottles and fabrics). Additionally, ethylene glycol finds use in de-icing solutions, solvents, paints, inks, and hydraulic brake fluids.
Automotive Antifreeze/Coolant:
Ethylene glycol's low freezing point and high boiling point make it ideal for preventing engine coolants from freezing in winter and overheating in summer.
Polyester Production:
It's a crucial component in the manufacture of polyester fibers (used in clothing, carpets, etc.) and PET plastic resins (used for beverage bottles and packaging).
De-icing Solutions: Ethylene glycol is used in de-icing solutions for aircraft and other surfaces
Industrial Solvents:
It acts as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paints, lacquers, and inks.
Other Applications:
Ethylene glycol is also found in hydraulic brake fluids, some types of inks (e.g., stamp pad inks and ballpoint pens), and even some cosmetics and pharmaceuticals due to its hygroscopic (moisture-retaining) properties.
