Glycol-based heat transfer fluids are crucial in various industrial and commercial applications. Among the most commonly used are Propylene Glycol (PG) and Ethylene Glycol (EG).
Propylene Glycol
PG is a synthetic, water-soluble liquid that is nearly odorless and colorless. Its ability to absorb water and lower the freezing point makes it highly versatile. PG is favored for its non-toxic nature, making it safe for sensitive applications where human exposure or contamination must be avoided, such as the food and beverage industry. Its excellent thermal properties, freeze protection, and versatility contribute to its wide use.

Ethylene Glycol
EG has a chemical structure similar to PG but with different properties. It features superior thermal conductivity and a lower freezing point but is more toxic. EG is also generally less expensive. However, its toxicity limits its use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Glycol Selection Guide:
Both PG and EG serve crucial roles in heat transfer systems. The choice between the two depends on specific application needs, cost considerations, and safety requirements.
