Ethylene glycol in coolant or propylene gylcol?

Propylene glycol is generally considered safer than ethylene glycol for use in coolant/antifreeze due to its lower toxicity. This makes propylene glycol a preferred choice for applications where accidental ingestion may occur, such as in RVs or marine engines. Additionally, propylene glycol is less harmful to the environment compared to ethylene glycol.

Is glycol antifreeze?

Yes, glycol is commonly used as antifreeze. Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are two types of glycol widely utilized in antifreeze formulations. They work by lowering the freezing point of the liquid in which they are mixed, preventing it from freezing under cold temperatures. This property makes glycol essential in automotive and industrial cooling systems to protect engines and machinery from freezing and overheating. Chemical Iran offers high-quality glycol products suitable for antifreeze applications. Their ethylene glycol and propylene glycol products are known for their purity and effectiveness in maintaining optimal operating temperatures. By providing reliable glycol solutions, Chemical Iran ensures that vehicles and equipment perform efficiently and safely in various temperature conditions.


How can propylene glycol be made?

Propylene glycol can be made through a chemical process called hydration of propylene oxide, where propylene oxide reacts with water to form propylene glycol. This reaction is typically carried out in the presence of a catalyst, such as an acid or a base, to facilitate the conversion of propylene oxide into propylene glycol.
