Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Ethylene Glycol 60/40 is a precisely formulated solution containing 60% ethylene glycol and 40% high-purity water by volume. Also known as Monoethylene Glycol (MEG), this technical grade fluid is engineered for industrial thermal management. It provides a depressed freezing point (-51°C) and elevated boiling point, making it an ideal medium for closed-loop heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as industrial process chillers.

The 60/40 concentration ensures consistent viscosity and thermal conductivity, preventing freeze-burst damage in piping systems exposed to extreme cold. Beyond heat transfer, this mixture serves as a robust solvent in chemical processing and a humectant in industrial formulations. The product is manufactured under strict quality control to minimize impurities, ensuring compatibility with standard piping materials like stainless steel and copper.

Common Applications

Heat Transfer Fluid: Used extensively in HVAC systems, industrial chillers, and geothermal pumps to transfer thermal energy efficiently while preventing system freezing.
Antifreeze Formulations: Serves as the primary functional fluid in heavy-duty cooling systems for engines and stationary equipment requiring boil-over and freeze protection.
Process Solvent: Acts as a solvent and coupling agent in the production of resins, solvent-based coatings, and chemical intermediates.
De-icing Operations: Applied to industrial surfaces and equipment to melt ice and prevent reformation in sub-zero environments.

Safety & Handling

Store Ethylene Glycol 60/40 in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. Compatible storage materials include HDPE, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Personnel should wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, to prevent skin and eye contact.

Signal Word: WARNING. This product is harmful if swallowed (H302) and may cause damage to organs through prolonged exposure. In the event of a spill, contain the liquid with absorbent materials and dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed emergency response procedures.

Benefits

Superior Freeze Protection – With a freezing point of -51°C, this 60/40 blend protects critical infrastructure in harsh winter climates.
Efficient Heat Exchange – Optimized viscosity ensures pumpability and effective heat removal in process loops.
Ready-to-Use Solution – Pre-mixed concentration eliminates the need for on-site dilution and ensures consistent performance specs.
