Di Ethylene Glycol (DEG)

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is an organic compound formed from two units of ethylene glycol, recognized as a di-functional alcohol. DEG is a polyol that finds extensive use in various industries. It appears as a viscous, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid. Typically, it has a slightly sweet odor and dissolves well in water and certain organic solvents like alcohols. DEG has a high boiling point and a low freezing point, making it suitable for use in antifreeze and coolant liquids.

• Production of Resins and Polymers: DEG is used in the production of certain resins and polymers, especially in the manufacturing of polyesters and plastics.
• Antifreeze and Coolant Liquids: Due to its low freezing point, DEG is used in the production of antifreeze and coolant liquids for vehicles and other mechanical equipment.
• Solvents: DEG serves as a solvent in the paint and printing industries, textiles, and other industrial processes.
• Textile Applications: In the textile industry, DEG is employed as a softener and moisturizer.
• As a Raw Material: DEG is used in the production of various other chemical products, including ethoxylates and modified glycol products.
• These diverse applications of DEG demonstrate its versatility and importance in multiple industrial sectors.
