glykoli
Glykoli is a term that can refer to several different chemical compounds, but most commonly it is used as a colloquialism for ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is an organic compound with the formula (CH2OH)2. It is a clear, colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is miscible with water. Its primary industrial application is as an antifreeze in automotive cooling systems due to its low freezing point and high boiling point. When mixed with water, it significantly lowers the freezing point of the mixture, preventing the engine from freezing in cold temperatures. It also raises the boiling point, helping to prevent the engine from overheating in hot conditions.
Beyond its use as antifreeze, ethylene glycol is also a key component in the production of polyester
Another compound sometimes referred to as glykoli is propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is also a clear, colorless,
