Product Description
Ethylene Glycol (1,2-Ethanediol) is a clear, colorless, odorless, and viscous organic liquid widely used in antifreeze formulations, coolant fluids, polyester fiber production, and plastics manufacturing. It has excellent miscibility with water, moderate boiling point, and low vapor pressure, providing optimal thermal regulation and corrosion resistance in industrial processes. Zenco Chemicals supplies high-quality Ethylene Glycol across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the broader East African region, serving automotive, textile, chemical manufacturing, and plastics industries.
