Ethylene glycol (monoethylene glycol, MEG) is used in many industries: chemical, automotive, aviation, electrical, textile, oil and gas and others. One of the main areas of application of ethylene glycol is the production of antifreeze liquids, refrigerants and heat transfer fluids. Ethylene glycol is used as a solvent, as a starting reagent in chemical production for the production of many synthetic resins and polymers, in the production of polyurethanes, explosives and fragrances.
