DEG

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a clear, colorless, and slightly viscous liquid with the chemical formula C₄H₁₀O₃. It is produced through the partial hydrolysis of ethylene oxide and is widely used as a solvent, plasticizer, and chemical intermediate in various industrial applications.

Manufactured by Shazand (Arak) Petrochemical and Marun Petrochemical Company (Iran), DEG is recognized for its high purity, excellent solubility, and consistent performance across polymer, resin, and textile industries.

Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with monoethylene glycol (MEG). It is a high-purity, hygroscopic compound that is completely miscible with water in all proportions, as well as with many organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and aldehydes.

DEG is known for its excellent solvency, high boiling point, and low volatility, making it a versatile chemical intermediate widely used in polyester resins, plasticizers, lubricants, coolants, and gas dehydration systems.
