The document discusses the production and properties of ethylene glycol. It states that ethylene glycol is produced commercially via the hydration of ethylene oxide. It is mainly used as an antifreeze in automotive and other applications due to its high freezing point depression. Some key properties discussed are its high boiling point, hygroscopic nature, and ability to dissolve in a range of organic compounds.
