111-90-0 - Introduction

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, also known as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, is introduced below with respect to its properties, uses, preparation methods, and safety information:

Properties:

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether has good solubility and is soluble in water, alcohols, ethers, and ketone solvents.
It has relatively low volatility and viscosity and good dissolving performance.
The compound has low irritation potential to the skin and eyes.

Uses:

As a solvent: Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is an important solvent and is widely used in the chemical industry in the preparation of resins, paints, coatings, cleaners, dyes, and other products.
Other applications: Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether can also be used in the synthesis of catalysts, plastic elasticizers, lubricants, surfactants, and other products.

Preparation:

The most common preparation method is the esterification reaction of ethylene glycol with ethoxyethanol. This reaction is generally carried out under acidic conditions using an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid.
It can also be obtained by adding ethoxymethanol to diethylene glycol and heating the mixture under alkaline conditions.

Safety information:

When using diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, adequate ventilation should be provided, and personal protective equipment such as chemical protective gloves, goggles, and masks should be used.
Store it in a dry, cool, and ventilated place, away from fire sources and oxidizers, and avoid contact with combustible materials.
Please comply with relevant regulations and laws during use and storage.
