Documented Uses

• Used to make plastics, lacquers, and protective coatings; [HSDB]
• Painting (Solvents) [Category: Paint]
• Used in the manufacture of plastics and lacquers and also in the production of protective coatings.
• /2-(Vinyloxy)ethanol/ metab in the body occurs via hydrolysis to form acetaldehyde which is rapidly oxidized and is therefore not important in the pathogenesis of intoxication. The detached ethylene glycol selectively attacks the kidneys- either itself or through its separation products.
