2. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

   Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol [7]) with the formula (CH 2 OH) 2. It is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations.

3. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

   The toxic effects of ingesting ethylene glycol occur because it is converted by the liver into 4 other chemicals that are much more toxic. The lethal dose of pure ethylene glycol is 1.4 ml/kg (3 US fluid ounces (90 ml) is lethal to a 140-pound (64 kg) person) but is much less lethal if treated within an hour. [9] (see Ethylene glycol poisoning).

   Deicing a Boeing 737 with Type I fluid A layer of Type IV anti-icing fluid. De-icing fluids come in a variety of types, and are typically composed of ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene glycol (PG), along with other ingredients such as thickening agents, surfactants (wetting agents), corrosion inhibitors, colors, and UV-sensitive dye.

5. Coolant - Wikipedia

   It is usually used with additives, like corrosion inhibitors and antifreeze. Antifreeze, a solution of a suitable organic chemical (most often ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or propylene glycol) in water, is used when the water-based coolant has to withstand temperatures below 0 °C, or when its boiling point has to be raised.

   Examples include ethane-1,2-diol or ethylene glycol HO−(CH 2) 2 −OH, a common ingredient of antifreeze products. Another example is propane-1,2-diol , or alpha propylene glycol, HO−CH 2 −CH(OH)−CH 3 , used in the food and medicine industry, as well as a relatively non-poisonous antifreeze product.
