Description
Diethylene glycol diethyl ether (CAS 112-36-7) is an ether-functional glycol solvent commercially known as Ethyldiglyme, Diethyl Carbitol, and DIETHYLDIGLYCOL. It carries no assigned E-code and is registered under EC number 203-963-7 with the molecular formula C8H18O3.
In plastics and polymer processing, Ethyldiglyme functions as a high-boiling reaction solvent and catalyst carrier, supporting controlled crosslinking and curing by maintaining homogeneous reaction conditions at elevated temperatures. In personal care formulations, it acts as a humectant and solvent carrier, improving ingredient solubility and moisture retention in topical products.
This material is supplied as a technical-grade liquid and falls under REACH registration requirements for EU market supply. It is classified under HS code 29091900 for customs purposes. Packaging formats typically include drums and intermediate bulk containers, with documentation available to support procurement and formulation compliance workflows.
