Diethylene Glycol (DEG)

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) by MEGlobal is a low-volatile, low viscous and hygroscopic liquid. Under normal conditions, it has no detectable odor, however, under high vapor concentrations, a slightly sweet odor may be detected. It is completely miscible with water and many organic liquids. Because of its higher molecular weight, it is considerably less volatile than ethylene glycol and differs sufficiently in that it has specialized uses. The reactivity and solubility of diethylene glycol provide the basis for many applications. It augments the capabilities to include applications that require hygroscopicity and lubricants. Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is used in printing inks, paints, pigments and dyes.
