Dietlen Glikol
Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a colorless, nearly odorless, toxic, and hygroscopic liquid with a slightly sweet taste. It is miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol, and has a higher boiling point, viscosity, and specific gravity than Monoethylene Glycol (MEG). Produced through the partial hydrolysis of ethylene oxide, DEG is a valuable intermediate in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), plasticizers, and acrylic and methacrylic resins. It is also used in antifreeze, cosmetics, lubricants, brake fluids, and wallpaper removers.
