That's like saying that the alcohol in Jack Daniels is the same stuff in
rubbing alcohol.
"Glycol" refers to a whole class of chemicals (much like "alcohol" does).
Common antifreeze is ethylene glycol, while brake fluid is commonly a
mixture of many different glycols, none of them ethylene glycol. Here's one
formula :
Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether
112-34-5
15 - 35 %weight
Triethylene glycol monobutyl ether
143-22-6
15 - 25 %weight
Tripropylene glycol
24800-44-0
15 - 20 %weight
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether
111-90-0
5 - 10 %weight
Polypropylene glycol monopropyl ether
29011-16-3
5 - 10 %weight
Diethylene glycol monopropyl ether
6881-94-3
5 - 10 %weight
Polypropylene glycol
25322-69-4
5 - 10 %weight
Triethylene glycol monoethyl ether
112-50-5
5 - 10 %weight
Diethylene glycol
111-46-6
< 10 %weight
Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether
112-35-6
0 - 10 %weight
