It's not.

In some applications ethylene glycol may be preferred, but it's not because it's a "better coolant", it's usually because it doesn't freeze or boil as easily.

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.

What is Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether?

It's a solvent. It's one of the glycol ethers, and they're used in paints and some inks. If you see the word "cellusolve," you're dealing with a glycol ether. There are differences between the glycol ethers, but they're close enough that they can interchange.

How can you tell if glycol is ethylene or propylene?

One way to differentiate between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol is by conducting a simple solubility test. Ethylene glycol is completely soluble in water, while propylene glycol is only partially soluble. Additionally, you can use techniques like gas chromatography or mass spectrometry for a more accurate identification.
