It would weigh 8.3 pounds per gallon.

7.6 pounds

Cons: Windshield washer fluid isn’t any heavier than water, so as far as ballast goes it’s not an improvement in warm-weather locations. In addition, many windshield washer fluids contain methanol, a highly toxic alcohol.

So the alcohol is less dense than the water. On the other hand, if we had a gallon of ethylene glycol (a major ingredient in antifreeze) it would weigh 9.2 pounds. So the ethylene glycol is denser than water. Clearly, if something floats on water that means it is less dense than the water.

Ethylene glycol is completely miscible with water in all proportions (as the commenters point out). Therefore, once mixed, the glycol will not separate from the water, ever. The only exception is if it gets so cold the mixture starts to freeze.

Antifreeze may also leak from your exhaust pipe at the tail end of your car. The consistency of antifreeze is thinner than oil but slightly thicker than water. It is usually red or green in color. The easiest identifying characteristic of antifreeze is that it smells sweet.

Small discrepancies can occur because propylene glycol is slightly heavier than water (1 liter of propylene glycol weighs about 1.1 kg).

Q: Will antifreeze protect a main drain line? A: Maybe, but keep in mind that antifreeze is heavier than water, and it will seek the lowest level in the pipe. If your main drain pipe has a steady pitch, as many do, you may notice the antifreeze coming out of the main drain, into the pool shortly after adding it.

Can I mix propylene glycol with ethylene glycol? Yes, they can be mixed. They would not cause any harm to the cooling system, but it does slightly weaken the heat transfer.

Physical Properties Its melting point is -72.4 degrees F, and its boiling point is 370.8 degrees F. It has a specific gravity of 1.036, meaning that it is only slightly more dense than water. Its vapor pressure at normal room temperature is negligible, so propylene glycol does not evaporate to any significant degree.

Propylene glycol is a humectant, which means that it is an ingredient that is added to cosmetics to increase moisture retention in skin and hair. Propylene glycol is well tolerated by the skin and shouldn’t cause redness or irritation.

Vaping propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine may lead to lung inflammation. Researchers have found that using e-cigarettes with the e-liquid refills containing propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) may lead to inflammation of the lungs over a period of time.

“In the first 20 minutes: your blood pressure and heart rate recover from the nicotine-induced spikes. After 12 hours: the carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal. After two weeks: your circulation and lung function begin to improve.

What are the effects of vaping on your lungs? The American Lung Association reports that: Data shows that the two primary ingredients found in e-cigarettes—propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin—are toxic to the cells in your lungs.

Propylene glycol breaks down in the body in about 48 hours. However, studies of people and animals show that if you have repeated eye, skin, nasal, or oral exposures to propylene glycol for a short time, you may develop some irritation.

Although generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used in minimal concentrations, Propylene Glycol does not evaporate easily and can therefore dehydrate the hair and cause a laundry list of issues.

A safe maximum intravenous PG dose has not been reported in the literature. However, one study reported that serum levels of PG greater than 18 mg/dL can be toxic. Other investigators have shown that toxicity is most likely to occur when the serum PG concentrations exceed 25 mg/dL.

Iatrogenic propylene glycol overdose can cause the following: Hyperosmolality and an anion gap metabolic acidosis, often accompanied by acute kidney injury, and potential multisystem organ failure (Arroliga et al.

Alcohol is an amazing substance – it’s a natural preservative and does not need any additives, especially petrochemical-derived ingredients that could cause health problems. Propylene Glycol has absolutely no place in vodka.

Neither ethylene glycol nor propylene glycol are main ingredients in hand sanitizer. And even if propylene glycol were included as an additive, it is not nearly as harmful in certain amounts. It’s also incorrect that hand sanitizer poses a danger to pets who lick their owner’s hand.

The agency is aware of adults and children ingesting hand sanitizer products contaminated with methanol that has led to recent adverse events including blindness, hospitalizations and death. Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and must not be used due to its toxic effects.

Some hand sanitizers may contain inactive ingredients such as aloe vera, glycerin, propylene glycol, tocopherol acetate and isopropyl myristate. These ingredients are generally considered safe by the FDA, but be on the lookout for potentially toxic inactive ingredients. Check the alcohol percentage.
