Chemicals | Antifreeze Solutions - Propylene and Ethylene Glycol
Propylene glycol and ethylene glycol are effective antifreeze agents. The Abbemat refractometers have built-in methods which show the concentration and freezing point of the substances without the need of any deeper application knowledge. This makes quality control easier than ever before.
Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are organic chemical compounds which have a large number of applications across many industries, i.e. for chemicals, cosmetics, or food. Most importantly, due to their high boiling point and the ability to lower the freezing point of water, they are ideally suited as heat transfer fluids and antifreeze agents as well as deicing fluids for e.g. aircraft.
Ethylene glycol is mainly used as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations or as a heat transfer agent in liquid coolers or air conditioning systems. Propylene glycol is further used in the food industry or as a solvent in pharmaceuticals as well as being a raw material for polymers and paints.
Quality control by means of an Anton Paar Abbemat refractometer is not only very time efficient but also very straightforward. Whenever quick and reliable concentration measurements are necessary the Abbemat refractometer series offers the perfect solution.
