Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a versatile organic compound, characterized by its structural formula HO-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-OH, distinguishing itself as a clear, hygroscopic, and odorless liquid. This remarkable compound exhibits complete miscibility with water and polar organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers, showcasing its adaptability in various applications.
Diols and Polyols
Diethylene glycol belongs to the family of diols, which are hydrocarbons featuring two alcohol groups, derived from ethylene oxide. Triethylene glycol (TEG), similar to diethylene glycol, is another colorless, odorless, viscous liquid, widely utilized as a plasticizer for vinyl. TEG finds its application in air disinfecting products like "Oust" or "Clean and Pure," and when atomized, it serves as a potent disinfectant. Ethylene glycol emerges as a pivotal liquid desiccant for natural gas and air conditioning systems and acts as an additive in hydraulic oil and brake fluid formulations.
In parallel to ethylene glycol, solutions of diethylene glycol and water function effectively as coolants, adeptly lowering the freezing point while elevating the boiling point of the solution, making it highly suitable for use in hot climates. Beyond its cooling capabilities, DEG serves as a fundamental building block in organic syntheses, contributing to the creation of compounds like morpholine and 1,4-dioxane. It is also a solvent of choice for nitrocellulose, resins, dyes, oils, and various other organic compounds. Its role as a humectant extends to applications in ***, cork, printing inks, and glues, and it is a component in some hydraulic fluids and brake fluids.
In the realm of personal care products, such as skin creams, lotions, and deodorants, DEG is often substituted by its significantly less toxic counterparts, DEG ethers, enhancing safety and usability.
Despite its versatile applications, DEG is controversially and illegally used as a pseudoglycerin in certain regions and is improperly marketed internationally as an ingredient in cough syrups and toothpaste, raising significant health concerns.
