Diethylene Glycol (DEG): Applications, Properties & Reliable Supply from Chemex Chemicals

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a versatile organic compound widely used in industrial applications ranging from antifreeze formulations to resins and plasticizers. Known for its hygroscopic properties and chemical stability, DEG plays a critical role in many manufacturing processes.

If you're looking for a reliable Diethylene Glycol supplier, Chemex Chemicals is your trusted distribution partner, offering high-quality DEG with assured purity and timely delivery.

What is Diethylene Glycol (DEG)?

Chemical Formula: CHO
CAS Number: 111-46-6
Molecular Weight: 106.12 g/mol

Diethylene Glycol is a colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic liquid that is completely miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol. It is typically produced as a by-product during the manufacture of ethylene glycol.

Key Properties of Diethylene Glycol

• High Boiling Point: 245C
• Excellent Solvent Power
• Low Volatility
• Hygroscopic Nature
• Miscibility with Polar and Non-Polar Solvents

These properties make DEG an ideal component in applications requiring moisture control, solvent activity, or thermal stability.

Applications of Diethylene Glycol

1. Antifreeze & Coolants
   DEG is widely used in automotive and industrial antifreeze formulations due to its freezing point depression and thermal conductivity.
2. Plasticizers
   Used as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers for PVC and other polymers.
3. Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR)
   Serves as a key raw material in the manufacture of UPR used in fiberglass-reinforced plastics.
4. Solvents
   Employed as a solvent in textile dyes, printing inks, and as a dehydrating agent in natural gas processing.
5. Cosmetics & Personal Care
   Although used in trace amounts, DEG can be found in some cosmetic formulations as a solvent and humectant (though tightly regulated due to toxicity concerns).
6. Lubricants & Brake Fluids
   Acts as a base for synthetic lubricants and hydraulic brake fluids.

Safety and Handling of DEG

While Diethylene Glycol is useful in many applications, it is toxic if ingested. Proper safety protocols, including PPE and storage guidelines, must be followed when handling this chemical. Regulatory compliance is essential for industries that use DEG in formulations, especially those related to food-contact materials or consumer goods.
