Uses
Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether(DGME) is used as a thermally stable solvent for many substances, such as nitrocellulose, lacquers, varnishes, and dyes. Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether is an industrial solvent and is also commonly used as a Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) in jet fuels. Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether is used in textile dye pastes, in lacquer industrial for thinners and quick drying varnishes; solvent for wood stains, hydraulic brake fluid diluent, and as a coupling agent for miscible organic aqueous systems.
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is used as a solvent in lacquer, varnishes, and enamels. It is also used in cosmetic products and dermatological preparations and as a solvent in some medicine products. It enhances the percutaneous absorption through the skin and mucosal barriers. It is used in some drugs to enhance absorption.
Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether is used as a solvent in paints, dyes, inks detergents, and cleaners.
Used in the same way as 2-ethoxyethanol where a solvent with a higher boiling point is required.
