Product Overview
Ethylene glycol, 99% is a high-purity, odorless, and colorless liquid widely used in laboratories as a solvent, coolant, and reagent. Its low volatility and high boiling point (197°C) make it ideal for applications requiring stable thermal performance. This lab-grade ethylene glycol is free from impurities, ensuring consistent results in experiments and industrial processes. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to absorb moisture efficiently, making it useful in dehydration processes. The compound is miscible with water and many organic solvents, enhancing its versatility. With a density of 1.11 g/cm³, it provides reliable performance in various formulations. Store in a cool, dry place, away from oxidizing agents, to maintain its purity and effectiveness.
FAQs
