Yes
Polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol are both known polymers. Ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol are, therefore, monomeric.
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
No. Polyethylene glycol has an extremely low toxicity compared to either of the others.
yes low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is used for automotive anti-freeze. most commonly used ones are ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
No. It is produced from either ethylene oxide (an epoxide) or ethylene glycol (an alchohol). Petroleum is composed of tens, often hundreds, of hydrocarbons and is not used to make polyethylene glycol.
Polyethylene terephthalate is made from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. You can modify the plastic properties by adding another glycol such as cyclohexane dimethanol in place of ethylene glycol. The properties of the plastic will be different due to the difference in size in the molecules. The polymer melting temperature will be lower since the modification of the backbone with a different sized molecule interferes with the structure of the polymer.
No, it's not the same thing. Ethylene is a gas used to produce polyethylene (solid). "Polymer grade" is just a purity label for ethylene gas, means that this ethylene is pure enough to be used in polyethylene (or other polymer) production.
Ethylene glycol
Ethylene glycol is not of animal origin !
can you mix polyethylene glycol with milk
It is clear. If it is at room temperature, and 100% Ethylene glycol is clear.
The chemical formula for ethylene glycol is C2H6O2.
