Applications
- Laboratory, research or manufacturing use (ACS reagent grade material)digitalassets.avantorsciences.com
Applications are drawn from published manufacturer and supplier documentation; each is sourced. Suitability for a specific use is the buyer's to confirm.
Storage & Handling
- Recommended Storage
- Cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed original containers. Neat glycols are combustible liquids with high flash points (roughly 99–111 °C) and do not require a solvent store; aqueous blends will not sustain combustion. Protect inhibited coolants from contamination and from freezing below their stated protection point.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Handling Precautions
- Chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles. Ethylene glycol grades are toxic by ingestion and must be kept away from food, drink and animals; propylene glycol grades are not. Avoid contact with hot surfaces and hot process equipment. Inhibitor packages deplete in service — monitor rather than top up blindly.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Incompatibilities
- Strong oxidizers, strong acids and strong bases. Galvanized (zinc) surfaces are attacked by many inhibited coolant packages. Verify elastomer and gasket compatibility for the service temperature; EPDM is standard for glycol/water service.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Shelf Life
- Consult Technical Services for product-specific shelf life
For full hazard, PPE, and emergency response guidance, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product. The SDS controls in all cases where guidance differs.
