Its versatility extends to being fully miscible with water and , though less soluble in ethers. Esteemed for its multifaceted applications, Ethylene Glycol functions as a solvent, antifreeze, and a crucial precursor in polyester synthesis. Moreover, its polymer, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), acts as a phase transfer catalyst and aids in cell fusion, while its nitrate ester version is recognized for its explosive properties.
