Description
Diethylene glycol monochlorohydrin (CAS 628-89-7, EC 211-059-9) is a chlorinated glycol ether commercially known as diglycol chlorohydrin or 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29094990 within the alcohols and glycols chemical family.
In plastics and polymer manufacturing, it functions as a reactive intermediate for flame retardant systems, where the chlorine atom contributes to halogen-based fire suppression mechanisms within polymer matrices. In textile and leather processing, it acts as an antimicrobial agent, disrupting microbial cell membranes to provide preservation during wet processing stages.
This product is supplied as a colourless liquid and falls under REACH registration requirements for procurement within the EU. Buyers should confirm supplier SDS documentation and purity grade specifications prior to ordering. Packaging formats vary by supplier and volume requirements.
