Ethylene glycol is also known as glycol and 1,2-ethylene glycol, referred to as EG. The chemical formula is (CH2OH)2, which is the simplest diol . Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless and sweet liquid, which is low in toxicity to animals. Ethylene glycol can be soluble with water and acetone , but has less solubility in ethers . Used as a raw material for solvents, antifreeze and synthetic polyester. Polyethylene glycol polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a phase transfer catalyst , also used for cell fusion ; its nitrate is an explosive。
