Diethylene glycol 99 +% Extra pure

What is Diethylene Glycol?

Diethylene glycol is a derivative of ethylene glycol and belongs to the group of alcohols (diols) or, more precisely, glycol ethers.

Diethylene glycol is synthesized by the ethoxylation of ethylene glycol with ethylene oxide. It is usually a by-product of ethylene glycol production.

Diethylene glycol forms flammable vapour-air mixtures at high temperatures. The compound has a flash point of 138 °C. The explosion range is between 1.7 volume percent (75 g/m3) as lower explosive limit (LEL) and 37 volume percent (1635 g/m3) as upper explosive limit (UEL). The ignition temperature is 355 ° C. The substance therefore falls into temperature class T2.

What is Diethylene glycol used for?

Most of the diethylene glycol produced is used as a raw material for the synthesis of polyester resins, morpholine and 1,4-dioxane. It is rarely used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, synthetic resins, dyes, oils and some other organic substances. In addition, diethylene glycol is rarely used as a wetting agent for corks, inks and glues; According to a statement from the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), use in the context of food or, for example, in toothpaste should be restricted.

A mixture of diethylene glycol and water can be used as an antifreeze because the mixture has a lower melting point than pure water. As a rule, however, the more suitable ethylene glycol - the main component of BASF's "Glysantin" refrigerant - is used. However, in a diethylene glycol-water mixture, not only is the melting point lowered, the boiling point is also increased more than in the water-ethylene glycol system. Diethylene glycol can therefore also be used as an additive in hydraulic and brake fluids.
