DEG (Diethylene Glycol)
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a colorless, practically odorless, and hygroscopic liquid with a sweetish taste. It is a four-carbon dimer of ethylene glycol. It is miscible in water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol. DEG is a widely used solvent. It is also slightly viscous, noncorrosive and non-volatile.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Because of its ether and alcohol group, diethylene glycol exhibits chemical properties characteristic of both primary alcohols and ethers. Its boiling point is considerably higher than that of ethylene glycol, and its solvent is greater. Diethylene glycol is miscible with water.
- Diethylene glycol is used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, resins, dyes, oils, and other organic compounds. It is also used as a humectant for tobacco, cork, printing ink, and glue.
- Additionally, it is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of morpholine and 1,4-dioxane.
- It is also a component in brake fluid, lubricants, wallpaper strippers, artificial fog and haze solutions, and heating fuel.
- Diethylene glycol is used in the manufacture of saturated and unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, and plasticizers.
