Study of the oxidative and hydrolytic stability of 2-ethoxyethanol

2-ethoxyethanol is one of the best anti-ice andditives for light fuels. This study contains the results of the kinetic studies on the hydrolysis and the oxidative stability of two samples of a technical grade 2-ethoxyethanol and of its ability to absorb water in order to be found means for its stabilization. The influence of the metal surface and of sediments (Fe 2 O 3 •H 2 O) on the oxidative and hydrolytic processes during its storage and accelerated ageing
