Description

Diethylene glycol diethyl ether (CAS 112-36-7), also known commercially as Ethyl diglyme or Diethyl carbitol, is an ether-based glycol solvent used across pharmaceutical, personal care, and polymer manufacturing applications.

Its low volatility and high boiling point make it a preferred carrier and reaction medium where controlled evaporation and solvent stability are critical procurement considerations for industrial manufacturers.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it functions as a solvent and carrier in topical formulations and drug delivery systems where consistent solubilization of active ingredients is required for product efficacy.

Personal care formulators use it as a humectant and solvent in creams, lotions, and hair care products to support moisture retention and ingredient compatibility across various cosmetic formulations.

In polymer and resin processing, it acts as a reactive diluent and cross-linking aid in curing systems, improving flow and film formation in high-performance coatings and industrial adhesives.

It also serves as a high-boiling reaction solvent in specialty chemical synthesis where precise temperature control and catalyst stability are essential process requirements for chemical engineers.

This chemical is supplied as a clear liquid in standard drum and IBC quantities. Technical grade is the most common commercial specification, with high-purity grades available for specialty applications.

Bulk quantities are accessible through established solvent distribution channels for industrial-scale procurement. We ensure all shipments meet rigorous safety and quality documentation standards for global logistics.
