Usage

General Description

Diethyleneglycol diformate is a chemical substance that belongs to the group of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups. It is used as a specialty chemical in several industrial applications due to its features such as high boiling point and low vapor pressure. It's most commonly used as a plasticizer and cross-linker in the manufacturing of polymers and plastics. It is important to handle diethyleneglycol diformate with care as it may cause skin and eye irritation and may be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
