Product Description
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ethers CAS 111-90-0
Product Introduction
Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ethers, with CAS number 111-90-0 and often referred to by trade names such as Carbitol™ or DEGEE, is a versatile, high-purity glycol ethers solvent. This colorless, low-odor liquid is a key ingredient in numerous industrial and commercial formulations due to its excellent solvency power, coupling ability, and favorable evaporation rate. It is a member of the "E-series" glycol ethers family, known for their lower toxicity profile compared to "P-series" alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main difference between E-series and P-series glycol ethers?
A: E-series (like DEGEE) are derived from ethylene oxide and generally have lower toxicity and better water solubility. P-series are derived from propylene oxide and have different solvent properties.
Q: Is Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ethers biodegradable?
A: Yes, it is readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions as per OECD test guidelines.
Q: What is the shelf life?
A: Minimum 2 years when stored in original sealed containers away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Q: Is it compatible with common packaging materials?
A: Compatible with carbon steel, stainless steel, HDPE, and PTFE. Avoid contact with aluminum and certain plastics like PVC.
Q: Can you provide REACH registration documentation?
A: Yes, we are fully REACH registered and can provide all necessary compliance documentation for EU market access.
Q: What safety precautions are necessary?
A: Use with adequate ventilation, wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Refer to SDS for complete handling instructions.
Q: Do you offer blended solvent formulations?
A: Yes, we provide custom blends with other glycol ethers, alcohols, and solvents for specific application needs.
Q: What is your minimum order quantity?
A: Drum quantities (200 kg) for standard grades, with sample quantities available for evaluation.
Q: Is this material suitable for cosmetics?
A: It has some cosmetic applications but must comply with regional regulations. We offer cosmetic-grade material with additional specifications upon request.
Q: How do you ensure supply chain reliability?
A: Through multiple manufacturing facilities, strategic raw material partnerships, and regional warehousing in North America, Europe, and Asia.
