Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2), also known as ethane-1,2-diol, is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. It is a diol, which has two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located on adjacent carbon atoms. It is used as a raw material to produce polyester fibers, fiberglass, and polyethylene terephthalate resin, which are further utilized in the manufacturing of upholstery, bathtubs, bowling balls, and packaging materials.

C2H6O2 is a colorless, odorless, and sweet tasting liquid that has a melting point of -12.9°C, boiling point of around 197.3 °C, and a density of 1.113 g/mL at 25°C. It is soluble in water, alcohol, and many other organic solvents. It can react with carboxylic acids to form esters, with aldehydes for forming acetals, and with ketones to form ketals. It can be oxidized to form glyoxal, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid. It can undergo etherification and esterification reactions with various reagents. It can also form complexes with metal ions, such as copper and nickel.

There is an increase in the use of C2H6O2 in the automotive industry as a coolant and antifreeze in internal combustion engines to transfer heat away from the engine and prevent the coolant from freezing in cold weather. It also contains corrosion inhibitors that protect the engine from rust and corrosion caused by the coolant. C2H6O2 acts as a lubricant in the water pump of the vehicle that helps to reduce friction and wear. This, coupled with the rising sales of luxury vehicles on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels, represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Furthermore, C2H6O2 is employed in the construction industry for producing insulation materials, such as polyurethane and polyisocyanurate, to insulate buildings and improve their energy efficiency. This, along with the growing construction activities in the residential, commercial, and industrial areas, is influencing the market positively.
