Origin

China

DE is synthesized through the ethoxylation of ethanol, producing a compound with two ethylene oxide units. The product is classified under HS code 2909499090 for customs purposes. TICHEM supplies DE at 99.5% minimum purity under industrial grade specifications, model number T100067.

DE exhibits complete solubility in water at 20°C, which distinguishes it from less polar glycol ethers. With a boiling point of 202°C at 760 mmHg, the product operates as a high-boiling-point solvent suitable for processes requiring extended open time. The flash point measures 91°C by closed cup method, placing it in combustible liquid category for handling and storage classification.

DE Industrial Applications

Coatings and Inks Industry

DE functions as a solvent for nitrocellulose, various resins, spray paints, and dyes. In electrophoretic coating systems, the product contributes to film-forming agent performance. Water-based wood coating formulations incorporate DE as a co-solvent that improves flow and leveling. The product also appears in varnish and paint thinner formulations where controlled evaporation rate matters for finish quality.

Electronics and Precision Cleaning

Glass and electronic cleaner formulations utilize DE as a component that dissolves ionic and organic contaminants. The product's water miscibility allows formulation into aqueous cleaning systems used in semiconductor and display manufacturing maintenance.

Fine Chemical and Automotive Applications

In the fine chemical industry, DE serves as an ingredient in automobile engine cleaning agent formulations. The product's solvency for carbon deposits and grease supports engine maintenance chemical development. In organic synthesis, the hydroxyl group of DE undergoes esterification and nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling its incorporation into functional material molecular structures. DE also operates as a diluent and chemical intermediate in various production processes.

DE Packaging and Supply Chain

Available Packaging Options

TICHEM provides DE in iron drums for small-to-medium volume orders, intermediate bulk containers (IBC) for facility-scale consumption, and ISO tank containers for bulk commercial procurement. Each packaging format meets UN transportation regulations for hazardous liquids.

Logistics and Trade Information

DE is classified under HS code 2909499090 for international trade. The MOQ stands at 1 ton for trial orders. Stock items typically ship within 3-7 working days from TICHEM warehouse facilities. Enterprise customers may request custom documentation including MSDS, COA, and country-specific compliance certificates.

DE Quality Assurance

TICHEM implements batch testing protocols covering purity by GC, moisture content, density, and appearance verification. The production facility operates under ISO 9001 quality management systems. Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis upon request. The company maintains dedicated storage facilities with temperature monitoring and inventory tracking to support consistent supply for business buyers.
