Ethylene Glycol
Ethylene glycol is a clear, viscous liquid primarily used in industrial manufacturing applications, and is an ingredient in products like automotive antifreeze and coolant. Ethylene glycol is produced by reacting the chemical compound ethylene oxide with water.
Ethylene glycol is primarily used in the manufacture of PET plastic resin used to make beverage containers for soda, water and juice, and polyester fiber for clothes, upholstery, carpet and pillows.
Ethylene glycol is a key ingredient in automotive antifreeze and coolant, to help keep a car’s engine from overheating or from freezing in the winter. It is a major component of deicing solutions used in cars, boats and aircraft, as well as on airport runways during the winter. According to the CDC, skin contact with a very small amount of ethylene glycol when using automobile antifreeze “will not affect your health.”
Ethylene glycol can be poisonous if ingested, and many states require the addition of a bittering agent to antifreeze to deter ingestion.
FDA has approved ethylene glycol as an indirect food additive for use as a component of adhesives used in food packaging.
