Packaging and shipping
Our Ethylene Glycol (EG) is a colorless, odorless, hygroscopic organic compound belonging to the glycol family. It is widely utilized in numerous industrial and commercial applications due to its excellent hygroscopicity, high boiling point, reliable chemical stability and low volatility.
Our EG boasts strong moisture absorption ability and excellent solubility, making it an indispensable raw material for various industrial formulations and manufacturing systems.
It is primarily applied as a core feedstock for the production of polyester fibers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and engine antifreeze fluids. Moreover, it is extensively used in the production of polyester plastics, heat transfer fluids and industrial solvents, serving the textile, packaging, automotive and general chemical industries with stable and reliable performance.




Product Description
Ethylene glycol is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used for the production of polyester products (such as polyester fibers and polyester resins), automotive and industrial antifreeze, solvents (for paints, inks, cosmetics, etc.), and as an intermediate for synthesizing other chemicals. The following is a detailed explanation of its main uses and functions:
Polyester product production: Ethylene glycol reacts with terephthalic acid through condensation to form polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is a key raw material for producing polyester fibers (polyester) and polyester resins. Polyester fibers are widely used in the textile industry, while polyester resins are used in fields such as coatings, adhesives, and fiberglass, enhancing the hardness, corrosion resistance, and other properties of the coatings.
Antifreeze field: Ethylene glycol is one of the main components of automotive antifreeze, and when mixed with water, it significantly lowers the freezing point, preventing engine freezing in low temperatures, and also increases the boiling point. In industry, it is also used as a coolant in cooling systems for chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
