Description :

Overview of Diethylene Glycol

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a non-coloured viscous, hygroscopic, and transparent organic liquid used extensively for chemical syntheses, antifreeze formulations plasticisers and industrial uses. It is admired for its very high boiling point, high solution time, and compatibility various chemical compounds.

The chemical formula for Diethylene Glycol can be found as C4H10O3. Its structure comprises two hydroxyl groups that are attached to a diethylene-backedbone which gives it alcohol-like properties as well as high solubility in organic solvents as well as water. Diethylene Glycol is widely utilized as an intermediate for manufacturing processes. It offers the stability and flexibility required for chemical formulations.

Applications of Diethylene Glycol

• Used as a solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis

• Serves in the production of resins, plasticisers, and lubricants

• Applied in corrosion inhibitors, dyes, and coatings

Antifreeze & Coolant Applications

• Used in automotive and industrial antifreeze formulations

• Lowers freezing point and raises boiling point in coolant systems

• Compatible with other glycols and corrosion inhibitors

Plasticizers & Polymers

• Acts as a component in plasticiser formulations for PVC and other polymers

• Enhances flexibility and durability in polymer products

• Supports resin and adhesive production

Laboratory & Research Applications

• Employed as a reagent and solvent in chemical and analytical laboratories

• Supports small-scale and industrial-scale chemical processes

• Can be combined with N-Butylamine, N-Butyllithium, and N-Chlorosuccinimide in industrial chemical reactions

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Wear gloves that are chemically resistant or goggles and wear a protective Clot Hing

• Beware of inhalation of volatiles and contact with the skin for a prolonged period of time.

• Make use of it in rooms with adequate ventilation or in fume auto hoods

• Storage in tightly sealed containers, in an area that is cool and dry

• Avoid powerful oxidisers, acids as well as heating sources

• Be sure to follow MSDS and safety guidelines for industrial use completely
