What is Diethylene Glycol? 

Chemical Structure and Formula

The structure for Diethylene Glycol is written as C4H10O3. It has two ethylene glycol molecules, which are joined together through an ether bond, and this makes the molecule show not much volatility, has a higher boiling temperature, and middle-level viscosity.

Because of this structure, DEG gets these features:

  • It is superior at absorbing water from the surroundings
  • Can dissolve things of polar and also non-polar kinds
  • Remains steady, facing different temperature conditions.
