Re; Qtn. on hygroscopic chemicals

Question

Hi,

Can somebody pls. tell me if POLYGLYCOL ETHER similar to ETHYLENE GLYCOL in terms of property functionality ?

Point being - Ethylene Glycol is hygroscopic and gradually absorbs moisture from the air.

Is POLYGLYCOL ETHER also hygroscopic ?

Answer 1

If they aren't the same substance, I believe that they will have very similar physical properties. Therefore, I would tend to believe that they would both absorb moisture from the air...
