Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a colorless, clear liquid with a sweet odor, also known as diethyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether or simply DEGME.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a polar solvent with high solubility and low volatility. It can form stable solutions with many organic and inorganic substances. Because of its good solubility and low toxicity, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is widely used as a solvent, surfactant, stabilizer and lubricant in the chemical industry.
