1. Monoethylene Glycol
Ethylene Glycol is a chemical compound that is mainly known as a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid. It is a diol (dihydroxy alcohol) that consists of two hydroxyl groups (-OH). Ethylene glycol is widely used in various industries, and one of its main applications is in the production of antifreeze and coolants.
1-Diethylene Glycol
Diethylene glycol, the product with the trade name DEG, is a by-product of the production of ethylene glycol. Diethylene glycol is one of the most common organic solvents in industry. It is also the result of the direct reaction between ethylene glycol and ethylene oxide. This practical solvent can dissolve many compounds.. And in addition to being an effective solvent for drying natural gas, it is a raw material for the production of plasticizers and polyester resin.
2-Triethylene Glycol
Triethylene glycol is a clear, viscous, colorless liquid with a low odor and high viscosity. This chemical is non-flammable, almost toxic, but considered safe. Triethylene glycol is also known as ethylene triglycol, triglycol and TEG. Triethylene glycol is a by-product of ethylene and diethylene glycol
2. Methanol
Methanol appears as a relatively volatile colorless liquid with a pungent, slightly sweet odor similar to that of ethyl alcohol. It mixes completely with water. Its vapors are slightly heavier than air. It is used to make chemicals, remove water from automobile and aircraft fuel, as a solvent for paint and plastics, and as an ingredient in a wide range of products. Methanol is a type of non-consumable alcohol that is mostly used to make fuels, solvents, and antifreeze.
3. Acids
Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. Acids can be identified by their sour taste, ability to react with metals, and their effect on certain indicators, such as litmus paper. In addition, acids exhibit varying levels of acidity, which can be measured using the pH scale. The number of hydrogens in acids indicates the number of protons. If it has more than one hydrogen that is dissociated sequentially, it is a polyprotic acid, and if it has one acidic hydrogen, it is a monoprotic acid.
4. Types of Solvents
In addition to mixing, substances in a solution interact with each other at the molecular level. When something dissolves, the solvent molecules surround the solute molecules. Heat transfer is involved, making the solution thermodynamically more stable than the solute and solvent separately. This arrangement is created by the respective chemical properties of the solvent and solute, including hydrogen bonding, dipole moment, and polarizability.
5. Types of Resins
A resin is a natural or synthetic compound that is very viscous and hardens under certain conditions. It is usually soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water. This compound is classified in various ways, depending on its chemical composition and intended use. It also has many applications in art, polymer production, etc. Natural resin is obtained from plants. The best example is pine tree sap, which has a pungent odor. As you know, this substance is very sticky, but hardens over time. A number of other plants also produce resin.
