GLYCOL 101 - Two major differences between propylene glycol and ethylene glycol

The most notable differences between propylene glycol and ethylene glycol are viscosity and toxicity. Ethylene glycol-based fluids are less viscous than propylene glycol-based fluids and they generally provide superior heat transfer efficiency. Ethylene glycol is typically preferred for heat transfer applications unless toxicity is a concern. Propylene glycol-based fluids are used in applications where contact with drinking water or food and beverages could occur or when mandated by law because of its low acute oral toxicity.
