Diethylene glycol monophenyl ether

Core Application Areas

Industrial Solvents and Coatings

High-boiling-point solvents: Used as a main solvent in nitrocellulose coatings, capable of dissolving rosin, alkyd resins, etc., improving the leveling and gloss of the paint film. The dosage is typically 5-8% of the formulation.

Electronic cleaning agents: Electronic grade DEGPE (purity ≥99.9%) can remove rosin flux residues from circuit board surfaces. With an ion content of < 10 ppm, it meets the IPC-7510 standard and is widely used in semiconductor packaging processes.

Metalworking fluids: Used as a coupling agent in cutting fluids to enhance the affinity between lubricants and metal surfaces, reduce wear, inhibit microbial growth, and extend service life.

Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care

Drug carriers: As a solvent for topical medications, it can enhance the skin permeability of active ingredients (such as antibacterial agents). For example, DEGPE is used as a solvent in 5% dapoxetine gels to promote transdermal drug absorption.

Cosmetic additives: Used as a fragrance carrier and preservative in skincare products. Its low irritation and high stability make it suitable for sensitive skin products, with a typical dosage of ≤0.5%.

Polymer Material Synthesis

Epoxy resin diluents: Excellent compatibility with epoxy resins, capable of reducing system viscosity and improving workability without affecting the mechanical properties after curing. The dosage is 10-15% of the resin.

Polyurethane chain extenders: Reacting with isocyanates via hydroxyl groups to improve the flexibility and water resistance of polyurethane elastomers, used in the synthesis of automotive interior materials.
