Resins : MONOETHYLENEGLYCOL is used in the synthesis of unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, rosin esters and polyurethane resins. It acts as a coalescence and anti-freezing agent in emulsified resins. Used together with adipic acid and other glycols, rubber with a high chemical and abrasion resistance can be synthesized. Resins produced from oleic acid and MONOETHYLENEGLYCOL, known as alkyd resins, are used frequently in the industry of paints and varnishes.

Wetting and plasticizing agents : MONOETHYLENEGLYCOL can be used as wetting and plasticizing agent in the production of cellophane, glues and adhesives, textiles, printing ink, leather, cosmetics, paper and pharmaceutical products.

Coolant additives : MONOETHYLENEGLYCOL is used in industrial refrigeration circuits and internal combustion engine coolant systems with the purpose of raising the boiling point and reducing the freezing point of the solution used. For this application, an anticorrosive must be added to MONOETHYLENEGLYCOL to prevent the system from suffering water corrosion. DIETHYLENEGLYCOL can be used in antifreeze formulations in proportions of up to 10% together with MONOETHYLENEGLYCOL. The various quantitative ratios between these components are suitable for specific applications in the field of industrial refrigeration.

Other uses : Ethyleneglycols can also be used in the formulation of printing ink, in the treatment of gases, in the formulation of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, in the formulation of cutting oils, in the formulation of surface polishers, in the formulations of agrochemicals, in the extraction of solvents, in the manufacture of pigmented pastes and putty for walls, and in the synthesis of explosives.

Storage conditions: Under nitrogen blanket and at ambient temperature.
