Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a colorless, odorless, transparent, viscous liquid with hygroscopic properties and toxicity. In the field of chemical raw material production, it has a wide range of uses, mainly as a solvent, plasticizer, and chemical intermediate.
Properties of Diethylene Glycol
- Physical Properties: DEG diethylene glycol is a colorless transparent viscous liquid with hygroscopicity. It has a relatively high boiling point of 245 °C and a low melting point of -10.4 °C. The density is slightly higher than water at 1.116 g/cm³. It is not soluble in water but can mix with many organic solvents, making it a versatile deg solvent for industrial use.
- Chemical Properties: DEG glycol has typical alcohol reactivity. It can react with acids to form esters, with aldehydes and ketones to form acetals or ketals, and with halogenated hydrocarbons to form ethers. This reactivity makes it an important deg chemical intermediate in chemical synthesis.
