Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol[7]) with the formula (CH2OH)2. It is mainly used for two purposes, as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, flammable, viscous liquid. It has a sweet taste, but is toxic in high concentrations. This molecule has been observed in outer space.[8]
