Diethylene glycol (DEG) is an organic compound with the formula (HOCH2CH2)2O. It is a colorless, practically odorless, poisonous, and hygroscopic liquid with a sweetish taste. It is miscible in water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol. DEG is a widely used solvent.
DEGs are organic compounds used widely as solvents. It is used across various strategic industries such as automotive, construction, chemical, and personal care among others. These coatings are applied as a raw material in the production of polyester resins & plasticizers, a dehydrating agent in natural gas, humectants, textile lubricant & coupling agent, the solvent in textile dyeing and printing, plasticizer for paper, cork, and synthetic sponges, and raw material for the production of esters as emulsifiers, and lubricants. Additionally, the properties of DEGs such it can be used as a softening agent, which is why it can be used in pigments and brake fluids paste.
Diethylene glycol is used in the manufacture of saturated and unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, and plasticizers.[5] DEG is used as a building block in organic synthesis, e.g. of morpholine and 1,4-dioxane. It is a solvent for nitrocellulose, resins, dyes, oils, and other organic compounds. It is a humectant for tobacco, cork, printing ink, and glue. It is also a component in brake fluid, lubricants, wallpaper strippers, artificial fog, and haze solutions, and heating/cooking fuel. In personal care products (e.g. skin cream and lotions, deodorants), DEG is often replaced by selected diethylene glycol ethers. A dilute solution of diethylene glycol can also be used as a cryoprotectant; however, ethylene glycol is much more commonly used. Most ethylene glycol antifreeze contains a few percent diethylene glycols, present as a byproduct of ethylene glycol production.
