Ethylene glycol is an organic compound often used as an antifreeze agent and coolant. It lowers the freezing point by forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby exerting antifreeze activity. It is also used as a raw material in the synthesis of polymers such as polyester fibers and polyurethanes.
