Description

Diethylene Glycol is a colorless liquid. Diethylene Glycol is used in the production of unsaturated polyurethanes, polyester resins, nitrocellulose resins, and plasticizers. Diethylene Glycol acts as a humectant for tobacco, printing ink, cork, and glue. It is an active ingredient in artificial fog solutions, wallpaper strippers, and brake fluid. Diethylene Glycol works as a lubricant in fiber-finish components, and glass- and cement-grinding aids.
