Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is a primary alcohol that has ethanol substituted by a 2-ethoxyethoxy group at position 2. It appears as a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a mild pleasant odor.
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used in the textile industry as a solvent for dyes. It is also used in cosmetic & perfumary industry as a solvent and as a solubilizer in drilling and cutting coolants.
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Lab Grade is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. Chemically, it’s a primary alcohol, ethanol with a 2-ethoxyethoxy group at position 2. Its CAS number is 111-90-0. This listing is Lab Grade with a minimum assay of 99.00%, supplied as a liquid. Lab Alley lists it under Solvents and Glycol Ether. The Product Manuals tab includes the Safety Data Sheet, the Technical Data Sheet and Certificates of Analysis. It also has statements covering allergens, BPA, non-irradiation, parabens, PFAS/PFOS, phthalates, TSE/BSE and vegan status. Grab the document you need before you commit to a size.
You’ll mostly find this glycol ether working as a solvent. It dissolves dyes in the textile industry, acts as a solvent in cosmetic and perfume formulas, and serves as a solubilizer in drilling and cutting coolants. It’s also used as a lab reagent. The trouble comes when your results or your formula depend on a solvent you can’t verify, or when the size you need isn’t on the shelf. Lab Alley fills that gap. Choose from 500ml up to 55Gal, including case packs, and set up Autoship if you reorder often. Need a larger quantity or a specific package? Request a quote and our team will take it from there. On budget, on time, every time.
