DIETHYLENE GLYCOL is a by-product of ethylene glycol (Mono Ethylene Glycol) production, just like triethylene glycol (CAS 112-27-6). It is an oxygenated, polar, hygroscopic solvent with very slow evaporation and miscible with water. It appears as a practically odorless, colorless liquid.
It is mainly used for coatings, detergents and printing inks, hydraulic oils or as raw materials for the manufacture of polyurethane or unsaturated polyester resins. It improves coalescence in latex paints and varnishes. In formulations for cleaning solutions, it offers a very good solubilizing effect.
We offer it for sale exclusively to professionals, in 20-liter canisters and 200-liter drums.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
- Detergent (solubilizing agent)
- Solvent
INDUSTRIAL USE
- Coatings industry: used for automotive paints, plastic coatings and printing inks
- Chemical industries: synthesis intermediate
- Gas industry: used to remove water and certain impurities from gas
- Automotive industry: component used in brake fluids
- Detergent industry: used for the formulation of maintenance products
OTHER COMMON USES
As in the case of mono ethylene glycol or mono propylene glycol, the mixture of water, anticorrosion agents and diethylene glycol can be used as antifreeze.
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Consult the safety data sheet. May be dangerous if ingested.
