General description

Ethylene glycol is a colorless liquid[1], which may be obtained via hydration of ethylene oxide.[2]
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food.

Application

Ethylene glycol has been used as a solvent in the synthesis of silver nanostructures, which serve as effective catalysts in the epoxidation reaction of ethylene.[3]
It may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in biological samples by various chromatography techniques.[4][5][6][7]
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
