Diethylene Glycol CAS#111-46-6

Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a clear, non-volatile, non-corrosive oily liquid with strong solvency and hygroscopicity. Miscible with water and most organic solvents, it is used in textile conditioning, dyeing, tobacco/paper softening, industrial lubricants, inks, wood stains, and natural gas dehydration (with monoethanolamine for simultaneous H₂S/CO₂ removal).

Product Usage

Propanols are widely used as solvents in coatings, antifreeze formulations, and household and personal care products. They also serve as chemical intermediates in the production of esters, amines, and other organic derivatives. Specifically, 1-propanol is commonly employed as a solvent in printing inks, paints, cosmetics, pesticides, cellulose esters, and insecticides.

1-Propanol is also commercially utilized in the manufacture of glycol ethers, which feature dual functionality, offering high solvency, chemical stability, and compatibility with water.
