DEG (Diethylene Glycol) – Technical Specifications and Overview

Product Overview
Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is a versatile organic compound widely used in industrial applications due to its excellent solvent properties and low volatility. It is a colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic liquid, primarily utilized in the production of unsaturated polyester resins, natural gas dehydration, and as a chemical intermediate in manufacturing polyurethanes and plasticizers. Its unique characteristics make it an essential component in a variety of chemical and industrial processes.

IRAN REQUEST, a leading supplier of oil, gas, and petrochemical products from Iran, offers high-purity DEG for global industries, ensuring consistent quality, competitive pricing, and timely supply for companies and factories worldwide.

  2. Low Impurities (MEG and TEG Content):

    • The Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) content is kept at a maximum of 0.05%, ensuring minimal contamination for applications that require strict chemical specifications.
    • The Triethylene Glycol (TEG) content is also maintained at 0.05% max, making our DEG suitable for high-performance uses.
  3. Low Water Content (0.05% max):
    DEG is produced with extremely low water content to enhance its hygroscopic properties and effectiveness as a solvent. This ensures efficiency in natural gas dehydration and other water-sensitive applications.

  4. Specific Gravity (1.1175-1.1195):
    The specific gravity range ensures precise material handling and compatibility with various industrial processes, enhancing its performance in chemical reactions and solvent applications.

  5. Stable Boiling Range:

    • An Initial Boiling Point (IBP) of 242°C ensures stability during distillation.
    • Dry Point (DP) of 250°C max provides reliable performance in heat-sensitive processes.
  6. Low Acidity and Ash Content:

    • Acidity (as acetic acid) is kept at 0.005% max, ensuring chemical stability and preventing corrosion in systems that use DEG.
    • Ash content is minimal (0.005% max), confirming the high-quality purification of our DEG product.

Applications of Diethylene Glycol (DEG)

Due to its unique chemical and physical properties, Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is widely used across various industries. Major applications include:

  1. Natural Gas Processing:

    • DEG is widely used as a dehydration agent in the natural gas industry. Its hygroscopic nature efficiently removes water vapor from gases, preventing corrosion and hydrate formation in pipelines.
  2. Industrial Solvent:

    • DEG is an excellent solvent for applications such as dyespaint removers, and ink formulations. Its low volatility and high boiling point make it highly effective for dissolving organic and inorganic substances.
  3. Unsaturated Polyester Resin Production:

    • DEG is a key raw material in producing unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), which are extensively used in the construction, automotive, and marine industries for making composite materials.
  4. Plasticizer and Polyurethane Production:

    • DEG is used in manufacturing polyurethanes and plasticizers, where it serves as a chemical intermediate, enhancing the flexibility and durability of plastics.
  5. Textile Industry:

    • DEG is used in textile finishing processes, acting as a stabilizing agent to ensure uniform application of dyes and other chemicals to fabrics.
  6. Antifreeze and Coolants:

    • DEG is used as an industrial-grade antifreeze and coolant in refrigeration and heat transfer systems, owing to its thermal stability and low freezing point.
  7. Humectant in Tobacco and Paper:

    • As a humectant, DEG is used in the production of tobacco and paper products, where it helps retain the required moisture levels for quality control.
