2. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

   Ethylene glycol may also be one of the minor ingredients in screen cleaning solutions, along with the main ingredient isopropyl alcohol. Ethylene glycol is commonly used as a preservative for biological specimens, especially in secondary schools during dissection as a safer alternative to formaldehyde. It is also used as part of the water-based ...

3. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

   When ethylene glycol is used in a system, it may become oxidized to five organic acids (formic, oxalic, glycolic, glyoxalic and acetic acid). Inhibited ethylene glycol antifreeze mixes are available, with additives that buffer the pH and preserve alkalinity of the solution to prevent oxidation of ethylene glycol and formation of these acids.

4. 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.

5. Aircraft deicing fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_deicing_fluid

   Ethylene glycol (EG) fluids are still in use for aircraft deicing in some parts of the world because it has a lower operational use temperature (LOUT) than propylene glycol (PG). However, PG is more common because it is less toxic than ethylene glycol. [6]: 2–29 [2]

6. Glycol ethers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_ethers

   Glycol ethers are designated "E-series" or "P-series" for those made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.Typically, E-series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, dyes and water-based paints, while P-series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.

7. Glycol dehydration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_dehydration

   Glycol dehydration is a liquid desiccant system for the removal of water from natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL). It is the most common and economical means of water removal from these streams. [1] Glycols typically seen in industry include triethylene glycol (TEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), ethylene glycol (MEG), and tetraethylene glycol ...

   Methylene chloride is a prime example. The toxic chemical, often used to refinish furniture and bathtubs, has been linked to dozens of deaths since 1980. As a result, the Environmental Protection ...

9. Ethylene glycol poisoning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_poisoning

   The most common source of ethylene glycol is automotive antifreeze or radiator coolant, where concentrations are high. [9] Other sources of ethylene glycol include windshield deicing agents, brake fluid, motor oil, developing solutions for hobby photographers, wood stains, solvents, and paints. [9]
