- Mono Ethylene glycol
or MEG is otherwise called as 1,2-ethanediol.
- MEG is an alcohol
with two -OH groups (a diol), a chemical compound widely used as an
automotive antifreeze.
- In its pure form,
MEG is an odorless, colorless, syrupy liquid with a sweet taste.
Ethylene glycol is toxic.
- The major danger
from ethylene glycol is ingestion. Due to its sweet taste, children and
animals will sometimes consume large quantities of it if
given
access to antifreeze.
- MEG is miscible with
water and some other solvents, slightly soluble in ether, but
practically insoluble in benzene, chlorinated hydrocarbons,
petroleum ethers, and oils.
- Ethylene glycol is
produced from ethylene, via the intermediate ethylene oxide.
- Ethylene oxide
reacts with water to produce ethylene glycol.
- The major use of
ethylene glycol is as an antifreeze in automobiles and personal
computers.
- Ethylene glycol can
be recovered from the natural gas and reused as an inhibitor after a
purification treatment that removes water and inorganic
salts.
- Ethylene glycol has
become increasingly important in the plastics industry for the
manufacture of polyester fibers and resins, including
polyethylene
terephthalate, which is used to make plastic bottles for soft drinks.
- The antifreeze
capabilities of ethylene glycol have made it an important component of
vitrification mixtures for low-temperature preservation of
biological tissues and organs.
- Minor uses of
ethylene glycol include the manufacture of capacitors, as a chemical
intermediate in the manufacture of 1,4-dioxane and as an
additive to
prevent corrosion in liquid cooling systems for personal
computers.
- Ethylene glycol is
commonly used in laboratories to precipitate out proteins in
solution.
- Ethylene glycol is
also used in the manufacture of some vaccines, but it is not itself
present in these injections.
- Large bolus doses of
ethylene glycol (EG) are developmentally toxic in rodents. However,
human occupational and consumer exposures typically
involve low
doses and slow dose-rates.
- On a worldwide
basis, approximately two-thirds of ethylene glycol is used as a chemical
intermediate, with a further one-quarter used as an
antifreeze in
engine coolants.
- MEG demand growth
has been driven by a combination of increases in both domestic and
export demand for downstream products, primarily polyester fibre and
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin.
