2. 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.

3. Propylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol

   Estimates on the prevalence of propylene glycol allergy range from 0.8% (10% propylene glycol in aqueous solution) to 3.5% (30% propylene glycol in aqueous solution). [ 70 ] [ 71 ] [ 72 ] The North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) data from 1996 to 2006 showed that the most common site for propylene glycol contact dermatitis was the ...

4. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

   Most antifreeze is made by mixing distilled water with additives and a base product, usually MEG (mono ethylene glycol) or MPG (mono propylene glycol). Ethylene glycol solutions first became available in 1926 and were marketed as "permanent antifreeze" since the higher boiling points provided advantages for summertime use as well as during cold ...

5. Glycol chiller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_chiller

   Propylene glycol plays a significant role in the application of a glycol chiller. For cooling in brewing, there are few processes where decreasing or maintaining temperature are important - like crash cooling a beer after fermentation, or keeping a steady temperature during fermentation (which generates heat), or cooling the wort after an ...

6. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

   There is a difference in the mixing ratio, depending on whether it is ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. For ethylene glycol, the mixing ratios are typically 30/70 and 35/65, whereas the propylene glycol mixing ratios are typically 35/65 and 40/60. It is important that the mixture be frost-proof at the lowest operating temperature. [24]

7. 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.
