Dalkem Ethylene Glycol Technical Grade, Sembawang

Ethylene glycol is primarily used in the manufacture of PET plastic resin used to make beverage containers for soda, water and juice, and polyester fiber for clothes, upholstery, carpet and pillows.

Ethylene glycol is a key ingredient in automotive antifreeze and coolant, to help keep a car’s engine from overheating or from freezing in the winter. It is a major component of deicing solutions used in cars, boats and aircraft

Industrial Applications
The primary use of ethylene glycol is for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic resin used to make beverage containers for soda, water and juice, and polyester fiber for clothes, upholstery, carpet, and pillows. Ethylene glycol has a variety of other industrial uses, including:
● The manufacture of fiberglass used to make products such as jet skis, bathtubs and bowling balls.
● The manufacture of ink for ballpoint pens and other inks. Ethylene glycol helps increase ink viscosity and makes it less likely to evaporate.
● Heat transfer fluids such as industrial coolants for gas compressors, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems and ice skating rinks. Ethylene glycol gives industrial coolants properties that help them flow through cooling systems while withstanding extreme hot and cold temperatures.

Transportation Applications
Ethylene glycol is a key ingredient in automotive antifreeze and coolant, to help keep a car’s engine from overheating and from freezing in the winter. Ethylene glycol is a major component of deicing solutions used in a variety of transportation applications, including cars, boats and aircraft, as well as on airport runways during the cold winter months. Ethylene glycol also is an ingredient in hydraulic brake fluid products.
