Request SDS →Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (CAS 111-90-0), known by the INCI name ethoxydiglycol, is a water-miscible glycol-ether solvent. It dissolves cellulose esters, lacquers, varnishes, dyes, gums, and resins, and serves as a coupling and carrier solvent in coatings, textile printing, and personal-care formulations. It is also used as a diluent in hydraulic brake fluids.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is diethylene glycol monoethyl ether used for?
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGEE, CAS 111-90-0), known by the INCI name ethoxydiglycol, is a water-miscible glycol-ether solvent. It dissolves cellulose esters, lacquers, varnishes, dyes, gums, and resins, and serves as a coupling and carrier solvent in coatings, textile printing, and personal-care formulations. It is also used as a diluent in hydraulic brake fluids.
What is another name for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether?
DEGEE is also known as ethoxydiglycol (INCI), carbitol, 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol, and Transcutol. Its CAS number is 111-90-0 and formula C6H14O3.
Is diethylene glycol monoethyl ether water soluble?
Yes. DEGEE is fully water-miscible and also dissolves many resins and cellulose esters, which is why it is used as a coupling and carrier solvent that bridges aqueous and organic phases in coatings and personal-care systems.
What is the CAS number for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether?
DEGEE's CAS number is 111-90-0, formula C6H14O3, classified under HS 2909.44. RawSource provides a Certificate of Analysis and SDS with each bulk shipment.
What is the cost of bulk diethylene glycol monoethyl ether?
Bulk DEGEE pricing depends on volume, packaging (drums or totes), and freight to your destination. RawSource quotes against current supply; request a bulk quote with your volume and ship-to for firm pricing.
