Is polyethylene glycol used in auto antifreeze?
yes low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is used for automotive anti-freeze. most commonly used ones are ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
Ethylene glycol in coolant or propylene gylcol?
Ethylene glycol
Are ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol monomers polymers or neither?
Polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol are both known polymers. Ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol are, therefore, monomeric.
Is ethylene glycol a polymer?
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
Is ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol the same?
Yes
Can propylene glycol antifreeze and ethylene glycol antifreeze be mixed?
Yes, Ethylene glycol and Propylene glycol are very similar chemically, therefore, can be mixed without any bad consequences for the engine.
How can you tell if glycol is ethylene or propylene?
You could determine its boiling point. The boiling point of ethylene glycol is 197.3 oC, and the boiling point of propylene glycol is 188.2 oC.
What ingredients are in antifreeze antiboil?
all i know is that the main ingredient is ethylene glycol
What substance is used as an antifreeze?
Mostly ethylene or propylene glycol.
What solutes and solvents are in antifreeze?
Usually just ethylene or propylene glycol.
Is propylene glycol in toothpaste harmful?
Would you brush your teeth with anti-freeze from your car's radiator? Absolutely NO, WHY include this ingredient in toothpaste if it is considered harmful?? You are confusing PROPYLENE Glycol with ETHYLENE Glycol. Propylene glycol is not toxic. Ethylene glycol is the substance in engine coolant which will damage internal organs, especially the kidneys. Check out the MSDS for both substances for further information.
IF you are allergic to propylene glycol should you avoid polyethylene glycol?
Definitely. Two years ago, I took Caltrate which contains polyethylene glycol. There was no effect the first day I took it, but I was extremely dizzy, had terrible headaches, and experienced stiffness in my left hip and shoulder on the second day. I now try to avoid all glycols. I know I am extremely allergic to propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and butylene glycol. Good Luck trying to avoid these harmful chemicals.
