Diethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether is a colorless liquid with low volatility and a sweet taste.
It is soluble in water but insoluble aliphatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The compound is stable at room temperature but reacts with strong oxidizers.
It is volatile and flammable, and should be kept away from open flames and high temperatures.
Its vapor is also somewhat toxic, so good ventilation be ensured.

| Flash point (Setaflash Closed Cup) | 82C |
| Boiling point @760 mmHg, 1.01 ar | 208.81°C (rough estimate) |
| Relative density (water=1) | 1.0100 (rough estimate) |
| Melting Point | -72°C |
| Refractive index | 1.4080-1.4120 |
| Vapor Pressure | 2.1Pa at 25ºC |
| Color | Colorless to Almost colorless |
| Storage | Store below +30°C |
| Flash point | 82°C |
| Appearance | Transparent liquid |
