Ethylene Glycol Used in the Polyester Fiber Industry
Ethylene glycol is a key raw material in the production of polyester fibers (such as PET fibers). Polyester fibers are widely used in textiles, apparel, home furnishings, and other fields due to their excellent physical properties and low cost.
1,2-Dihydroxyethane Used in the Cosmetic Industry
1,2-Dihydroxyethane shall not be added directly as a raw material in cosmetic products. The derivatives commonly used and considered safe for application in cosmetics are, for instance, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and propylene glycol, both of which are synthesised from ethylene glycol. Their use in cosmetic formulations has received broad acceptance.
1,2-Ethanedio Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Ethylene glycol itself is considerably toxic and shall not be used directly as a pharmaceutical ingredient nor be added directly to medicinal products. However, it serves as an important chemical raw material for the synthesis of safe pharmaceutical excipients and drug carriers, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG).
2-Hydroxyethanol Used in the Lubricant Industry
In the lubricant industry, 2-hydroxyethanol is perfectly suitable for use as an antifreeze agent and constitutes the core base component of the vast majority of automotive engine coolants (antifreeze) available on the market.
1,2-Dihydroxyethane Used in the Coating Industry
1,2-Dihydroxyethane serves as a key ingredient in many coatings and solvents, such as paints, adhesives, varnishes, and lubricants. Its high viscosity and excellent solubility make it an ideal choice for the coatings and solvents industry.
1,2-Ethanedio Used in the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
1,2-Ethanedio is also used in the chemical industry as an intermediate for the production of other chemicals, such as polyurethanes, surfactants, and plasticizers.
