Storage features：

Separated from strong oxidants and strong bases. Dry. Ventilation along the floor.

Stability/Shelf Life：

Polyethylene glycols are chemically stable in air and in solution, although grades with a mol wt < 2000 are hygroscopic. Polyethylene glycols do not support microbial growth, and they do not become rancid. Polyethylene glycols and aqueous polyethylene glycol solutions can be sterilized by autoclaving, filtration, or gamma irradiation Ideally, sterilization should be carried out in an inert atmosphere.

Precautionary statement(s)：

P301 + P312 + P330

Hazard Statements：

H302-H373

Ethylene glycol Use and Manufacturing

Mainly used in the production of polyester resins, alkyd resins, plasticizers, antifreezes, and also used in cosmetics and explosives; used as analytical reagents, chromatographic analysis reagents and capacitor media; ethylene glycol is the fungicide tebuconazole and moxa The intermediate of the spirit. Gas chromatographic stationary liquid (maximum use temperature 50℃, solvent is chloroform), separation and analysis of low-boiling oxygen-containing compounds, amine compounds, nitrogen or oxygen heterocyclic compounds. Determination of calcium oxide in cement, solvents, antifreeze, manufacture of polyester resins, plasticizers, cosmetics, explosives, cold-resistant lubricants, surfactants, varnishes, dyes, inks, etc., organic synthesis.
