Diethylene Glycol Diethylene glycol is successfully used for:
As a hygroscopic agent, diethylene glycol is equivalent to glycerol—and because of its ether linkage, it is generally a better solvent for resins, dyestuffs, and proteins. This solvent power coupled with a low freezing point (-8.0°C.) and low viscosity (35.7 cps. at 20 C.) gives diethylene glycol a range of usefulness that cannot be equalled by other commonly-used humectants. And diethylene glycol gives more humectancy and solvent power for your dollar than any other humectant.
