Product overview
Diethylene Glycol is a hygroscopic high-boiling glycol used as an industrial intermediate, solvent, heat-transfer component and in selected gas-dehydration or hydrate-control systems. Because of its toxicity, dedicated handling, traceability and strict prevention of cross-contamination are essential.
Function & Usage
- Provide Solvency, Carrying & Spreading
Provides solvency, carrying, spreading, evaporation or fixative performance according to the selected specialty material. Typical uses: Selected natural-gas dehydration and hydrate-control systems, Unsaturated polyester, polyurethane and plasticizer production, High-boiling solvent and heat-transfer formulations.
- Treat Refinery & Gas Streams
Provides hydrogen-sulfide scavenging, gas dehydration, hydrate control or high-boiling process-fluid performance according to the selected additive and operating system. Typical uses: Selected natural-gas dehydration and hydrate-control systems, Unsaturated polyester, polyurethane and plasticizer production, High-boiling solvent and heat-transfer formulations.
Product information
- Applications:
- Selected natural-gas dehydration and hydrate-control systems, Unsaturated polyester, polyurethane and plasticizer production, High-boiling solvent and heat-transfer formulations, Chemical intermediate and process-fluid applications
- Hazard / Transport:
- Harmful if swallowed and capable of causing serious kidney or systemic injury. DEG is combustible and contamination of food, feed, pharmaceutical or personal-care supply chains must be rigorously prevented. It is not commonly assigned a UN dangerous-goods number, but the latest SDS and destination rules apply.
- Storage:
- Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated industrial-chemical area. Protect from moisture, heat, ignition sources, oxidizers and contamination, and segregate strictly from food, feed, pharmaceutical and potable-product operations.
