Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether can also be used as a cement grinding aid, in solvent extraction, and in printing ink.
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is now being displaced by tri ethylene glycol as the lower toxicity of tri ethylene glycol. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is clear, colorless and odorless liquid with a slightly sweetish taste, hygroscopic, with a low volatileness. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is an excellent solvent for water-insoluble chemical compounds and drugs. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is a widely used solvent, making Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether useful in cleaners, cement processing, heat transfer fluids and adhesives. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used in manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, and plasticizers.
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is a component in printing ink formulations and a plasticizing and lubricating agent for natural and synthetic fibers. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used among others to produce unsaturated polyester resins, thermoplastic polyurethanes and plastifiers, as an additive in producing glass and cement, furniture, shoe polishes, printing inks, plaster boards, emulsifiers and anti-freezes, beauty products, lubricants, brake fluids, wallpaper removers and as an agent heating up or cooling down the fuel.Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether depend on demand for derivatives of the primary product, ethylene glycol, rather than on Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether market requirements. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used in the manufacture of saturated and unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes, and plasticizers. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as a building block in organic synthesis.
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is a solvent for nitrocellulose, resins, dyes, oils, and other organic compounds. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is a humectant for tobacco, cork, printing ink, and glue. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is also a component in brake fluid, lubricants, wallpaper strippers, artificial fog and haze solutions, and heating/cooking fuel. In personal care products (e.g. skin cream and lotions, deodorants), Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is often replaced by selected Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether. A dilute solution of Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether can also be used as a cryoprotectant; however, ethylene glycol is much more commonly used. Most ethylene glycol antifreeze contains a few percent Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether, present as an byproduct of ethylene glycol production. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethanes and plasticizers.
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as a solvent in dye ink and textile dyeing. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used in the tobacco industry as a moisture scavenger. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as a snow spray on airplanes and railways. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as a thinner in the glue industry. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as a selective solvent for aromatics in oil refining. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as a solvent in printing in the textile industry and also Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used as an auxiliary agent in the content of textile dyes. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether, is a colorless, sweet-tasting, odorless, toxic and hygroscopic liquid. Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is easily miscible in alcohol, water, ether and ethylene glycol.
