Are you trying to make your own deicing fluid? Look in the phone book for chemical supply companies; Hexion Specialty Chemicals is who I always bought stuff from, and they'll bring you a drum of ethylene glycol.
Note the quantity: they don't want to talk to you for less than 55 gallons of anything. Then again, if you're deicing aircraft you'll use that much.
You can get a liter of it from Sigma-Aldrich for $77.80. You can get a gallon of deicing fluid for twenty dollars, and you can get a gallon of automotive antifreeze for around $10. Unless you are planning to make a huge amount of whatever it is you're making, or you need absolutely pure ethylene glycol for research purposes, buying pure glycol is economically foolish.

Ethylene glycol in coolant or propylene gylcol?
Ethylene glycol
Is ethylene glycol halal?
Ethylene glycol is not of animal origin !
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.
What elements is ethylene glycol made up of?
The chemical formula for ethylene glycol is C2H6O2.
What is the color of ethylene-glycol?
It is clear. If it is at room temperature, and 100% Ethylene glycol is clear.
Is ethylene glycol a polymer?
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
What is the major componet of most major brands of antifreeze?
Ethylene glycol.Ethylene glycol.
Is ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol the same?
Yes
Is Ethylene glycol secondary alcohol?
NO! Ethylene glycol is deadly poisonous even in relatively small amounts. Ethylene glycol is not ethyl alcohol, which is the only alcohol humans (or animals) can safely drink.
What liquids can kill you?
Ethylene Glycol (antifreeze) is extremely fatal when consumed in large amounts. Ethylene Glycol (CH2OHCH2OH).
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.
Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?
Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.
