Product details

5. Paper: DEG is used to treat paper to make it more water-resistant.


6. Glue: DEG is used in some glues to help them adhere to surfaces.


7. Solvent: DEG is a good solvent for a variety of organic compounds,

 including nitrocellulose, resins, dyes, and oils. This makes it useful in a

 variety of applications, such as:

 ---> Printing inks: DEG is used in printing inks to help them flow more

 easily and to prevent them from clogging the printing press.

 ---> Dyeing: DEG is used in dyeing to help the dye adhere to the fabric.

 ---> Petroleum refining: DEG is used in petroleum refining to extract

 aromatic compounds from crude oil.


In addition to these common uses, DEG is also used in a variety of other applications, such as:


Plasticizer: DEG is used as a plasticizer in some plastics, such as PVC. This helps to make the plastics more flexible and less brittle.


Lubricant: DEG is used as a lubricant in some applications, such as hydraulic fluids.


Cosmetics: DEG is used in some cosmetics, such as lotions and creams.


DEG is a relatively safe substance when used in the proper amounts. However, it can be toxic if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. Symptoms of DEG poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, seizures, and coma. In severe cases, DEG poisoning can be fatal.


Due to its toxicity, DEG is no longer used in many consumer products. However, it is still used in some industrial applications, such as antifreeze and brake fluid. When using DEG, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to avoid exposure.
