2. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

   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).

3. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

   Ethylene glycol is widely used to inhibit the formation of natural gas clathrates (hydrates) in long multiphase pipelines that convey natural gas from remote gas fields to a gas processing facility. Ethylene glycol can be recovered from the natural gas and reused as an inhibitor after purification treatment that removes water and inorganic salts.

4. Cryoprotectant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryoprotectant

   Conventional cryoprotectants are glycols (alcohols containing at least two hydroxyl groups), such as ethylene glycol [citation needed], propylene glycol and glycerol. Ethylene glycol is commonly used as automobile antifreeze; while propylene glycol has been used to reduce ice formation in ice cream.

5. Heat-transfer fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-transfer_fluid

   Mono-ethylene glycol: Often used in a mixture with water to lower the freezing point for use in colder climates. Propylene glycol: Preferred in food production and other industries where toxicity might be a concern. Silicone oil: Used for its stability at high temperatures and electrical insulating properties.

7. Coolant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant

   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.

8. Diol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

   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.

9. Diethylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylene_glycol

   The resulting product is two ethylene glycol molecules joined by an ether bond. [5] "Diethylene glycol is derived as a co-product with ethylene glycol (MEG) and triethylene glycol. The industry generally operates to maximize MEG production. Ethylene glycol is by far the largest volume of the glycol products in a variety of applications.
