Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether, widely recognized in the industry as DEGEE or Ethoxydiglycol, is a high-boiling oxygenated solvent utilized primarily in the formulation of wood stains, floor polishes, and industrial cleaners. Verified under CAS 111-90-0 (chemically known as 2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethanol), this clear, hygroscopic liquid exhibits excellent solvency for resins, oils, and dyes, serving as a critical coalescing agent in water-based latex paints to improve film formation and flow. We offer this high-purity solvent with competitive factory pricing to support the coating, textile, and cosmetic industries. Our supply chain ensures reliable bulk supply availability and customized specifications, fully accompanied by MSDS, TDS, COA documentation for strict safety handling and compliance.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (DEGEE) correspond to the highly toxic Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (EGEE)?
A: Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (DEGEE) is verified under CAS 111-90-0 as the safer, higher molecular weight glycol ether containing two ether linkages, distinguishing it from the more volatile and toxic Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (EGEE) to ensure safer handling in consumer and industrial formulations. -
Q:
What is the primary functional role of DEGEE in water-based floor polishes and sealers?
A: Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (DEGEE) is typically applied as a coalescing agent and leveling solvent, where its slow evaporation rate allows polymer particles to fuse evenly into a continuous, durable film without streaking or hazing.
