Definition and Areas of Use: :

Diethylene Glycol is a colorless, low volatility, low viscosity, hygroscopic liquid. Under normal conditions, diethylene glycol does not have any odor; However, under high vapor concentrations, a slightly sweet odor can be detected. It is completely miscible with water and many organic liquids.

Because of its high molecular weight, diethylene glycol is significantly less volatile than ethylene glycol and is sufficiently different in its specific uses. The reactivity and solubility of diethylene glycol provide the basis for many applications.

Diethylene glycol is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Diethylene glycol is also incompatible with strong bases. Diethylene glycol reacts with sulfuric acid and other dehydrating agents, nitric acid, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, perchloric acid, and strong acids. Mixtures with sodium hydroxide decompose exothermically when heated to 446°F.

Usage areas

• Diethylene glycol is used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, and plasticizers.
• As a solvent in dye ink and textile dyeing;
• As a humectant in the tobacco industry;
• As snow spray in airplanes and railways;
• It is used as a thinner in the glue industry.
• It is used as a selective solvent for aromatics in petroleum refining.
• In the textile industry, it is used as a solvent in printing and as an auxiliary agent in the content of textile dyes.
