Application
Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a straight-chain dihydric alcohol aliphatic compound, characterized by hydroxyl groups at both ends. It is a versatile, less volatile solvent compared to ethylene glycol and is widely used across multiple industries. DEG serves as a solvent in cleaners, adhesives, printing inks, textile dyeing and printing, and as a component in hydraulic fluids. It is also used in cement processing, heat transfer fluids, and as a coupling agent. In manufacturing, DEG is a key raw material for producing unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, plasticizers, and esters used as emulsifiers, demulsifiers, and lubricants. Additionally, it functions as a dehydrating agent for natural gas, a humectant, a textile lubricant, and a plasticizing and lubricating agent for both natural and synthetic fibers, as well as paper, cork, and synthetic sponges.
