Industrial, Electronic & Pharmaceutical Grade Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (DEGEE/Carbitol) CAS 111-90-0 High Boiling Point Solvent for Coatings,

Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (Abbr: DEGEE / Carbitol, CAS:111-90-0,EINECS:203-919-7, HS Code:2909440000) is a colorless transparent liquid with mild ether odor, a high-boiling point glycol ether solvent. We supply industrial and cosmetic grades complying with international quality standards. It features excellent solubility, miscible with water, alcohols, ketones and most organic solvents, with good coupling ability and low volatility. Widely used as solvent, coupling agent and coalescing agent in coatings, inks, cleaners and cosmetics.

Applications
Coatings & Inks Industry (Core Application)
High-performance coalescing agent and solvent for water-based and solvent-based coatings, inks and varnishes. It improves film formation performance, enhances gloss and leveling property, reduces film cracking, and is widely used in architectural coatings, automotive coatings, printing inks and screen printing inks.
Cleaning Industry
Excellent solvent for industrial and household cleaners, degreasers and metal cleaning agents. It effectively removes oil, grease and dirt, with good rinsability and low residue, suitable for hard surface cleaning, electronic component cleaning and precision instrument cleaning.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Used as coupling agent, solvent and moisturizer in cosmetics, skin care products, perfumes and hair dyes. It improves ingredient solubility, stabilizes formulations, enhances product texture, and meets global cosmetic safety regulations.
Printing & Dyeing Industry
Applied as dyeing auxiliary and solvent for textile printing and dyeing. It improves dye solubility and uniformity, enhances color fastness, and reduces dye bleeding and uneven dyeing.
Chemical Synthesis
Used as reaction solvent and intermediate for organic synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. It provides mild reaction conditions, improves product yield and purity, and is widely used in fine chemical production.
Other Industrial Applications
Used as antifreeze additive for hydraulic fluids and brake fluids. Also applied as extractant in petrochemical industry, and as solvent for pesticides and agricultural formulations.
