Product Overview
100% Ethylene Glycol Inhibited is a colorless, viscous liquid formulated for demanding industrial thermal applications. Also known as Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) or simply antifreeze, this solvent features a specialized inhibitor package designed to prevent corrosion and scale accumulation in metal piping systems. Unlike uninhibited glycols which can become acidic over time, this formulation stabilizes pH levels, ensuring longevity for chillers, boilers, and closed-loop systems.
With a chemical formula of C₂H₆O₂ and high boiling point, this product provides excellent thermal stability and freeze protection. It is widely used as a heat transfer fluid in HVAC systems, a solvent in chemical processing, and a hydraulic fluid component. The product is miscible with water and most organic solvents, allowing for flexible dilution ratios based on specific freeze-point requirements.
