Diethylene glycol,Ethylene diglycol,DEG,Diglycol,CAS 111-46-6,C₄H₁₀O₃
Product Name: Diethylene glycol
Also Known As: DEG / 2,2'-Oxybis(ethan-1-ol) / Diglycol / Ethylene diglycol
CAS No.: 111-46-6
Molecular Formula: C₄H₁₀O₃
Product Description
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a primary by-product from the hydrolysis of ethylene oxide to monoethylene glycol (MEG). Industrial production typically yields a mixture of MEG, DEG, and triethylene glycol (TEG), which are then separated into pure products through fractional distillation.
Applications
Polymers & Resins: Raw material for polyester resins.
Solvents & Extraction: Used in paints, inks, adhesives, dyes, and as an extraction agent.
Textile Processing: Functions as a lubricant, softener, and finishing agent.
Other Industrial Uses: Includes gas dehydration, refrigerant, and lubricating fluid.
