Ethylene glycol is a colorless, practically odorless, low-volatility, low-viscosity, hygroscopic liquid. It is completely miscible with water and many organic liquids. Ethylene glycol is produced from ethylene, via the intermediate ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide reacts with water to produce ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol (Monoethylene Glycol) in its pure form, it is an odorless, colorless, syrupy liquid with a sweet taste.
