| Specification: | Ethylene glycol (CAS NO.107-21-1) is also named as 1,2-Dihydroxyethane ; 1,2-Ethanediol ; 146AR ; 2-Hydroxyethanol ; AI3-03050 ; Aethylenglykol ; Aethylenglykol [German] ; CCRIS 3744 ; Caswell No. 441 ; Dowtherm SR 1 ; EPA Pesticide Chemical Code 042203 ; Ethylene dihydrate ; Fridex ; Glycol ; Glycol alcohol ; Glycol, ethylene- ; HSDB 5012 ; Lutrol-9 ; Macrogol 400 BPC ; Monoethylene glycol ; NCI-C00920 ; NSC 93876 ; Norkool ; Ramp ; Tescol ; UNII-FC72KVT52F ; Ucar 17 ; Union Carbide XL 54 Type I De-icing Fluid ; Zerex .It is clear viscous liquid. Ethylene glycol is combustible. Inhalation of vapor is not hazardous. Ingestion causes stupor or coma, sometimes leading to fatal kidney injury. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since Ethylene glycol is a liquid Ethylene glycol can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams. Mixing Ethylene glycol in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid, oleum, sulfuric acid. |
