About Ethylene Oxide and Ethylene Glycol
Ethylene oxide is a chemically reactive material. It is used for manufacturing ethylene glycols, glycol ethers, ethanolamines, surface-active agents, and polyether polyols. Ethylene glycol is a clear, viscous, versatile organic compound that is a hydroscopic liquid at room temperature. It is used in the manufacture of polyester films, fibers and PET resins, and antifreeze agent for water-based coolants.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol market to grow at a CAGR of 5.82% during the period 2016-2020.
