Product Details

Diethylene glycol (DEG) serves as a widely utilized solvent and component across a broad range of commercial goods. It functions as a dehydration medium in natural gas processing; acts as a lubricating and finishing additive for textile maleic-anhydride.html">materials; is present in brake fluids, lubricants, antifreeze products, wallpaper removers, and artificial fog mixtures; serves as a solvent for printing inks and textile colorants; and acts as an intermediate in manufacturing certain resins, triethylene glycol, surfactants, as well as diethylene glycol esters and ethers.Diethylene glycol

Product Application of Diethylene glycol CAS#111-46-6
Diethylene glycol boasts diverse industrial applications. It is an ingredient in antifreeze, brake fluids, cosmetics, inks, and drying agents, and also functions as a plasticizer. It is used in antifreeze solutions for sprinkler systems and water seals for gas tanks (water blended with 40% diethylene glycol freezes at -18°C; with 50% at -28°C); serves as a lubricating and finishing agent for wool, worsted, cotton, rayon, and silk; acts as a solvent for vat dyes; and is added to composition corks, glues, gelatin, casein, and pastes to resist drying.
