DPM - Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether, DPM, is the two-unit homologue of PM. Doubling the glycol backbone raises the boiling point sharply while keeping full water miscibility, which makes it a slow-evaporating coupling solvent.
DPMA - Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate
Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, DPMA, is the acetate of DPM. It has no active hydrogen, so it is usable in two-pack polyurethane systems, and its high boiling point makes it a very slow tail solvent.
EE - Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether(EGME)
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, EE or 2-ethoxyethanol (CAS 110-80-5), is the ethyl homologue of EM. It shares the same reproductive toxicity classification and restricted status, and has largely been replaced by propylene-series solvents.
DE - Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, DE or carbitol (CAS 111-90-0), is a high-boiling, fully water-miscible solvent. Under the INCI name Ethoxydiglycol it is also widely used as a penetration aid in cosmetics.
TE - Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether
Triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, TE (CAS 112-50-5), combines a three-unit glycol backbone with an ethyl cap. It is a very high-boiling, water-miscible solvent used where volatility must be almost eliminated.
EM - Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, EM or 2-methoxyethanol (CAS 109-86-4), is the shortest E-series glycol ether. It is classified as a reproductive toxicant in the EU and its use is restricted, so supply is for permitted industrial uses only.
DM - Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, DM or methyl carbitol (CAS 111-77-3), is the two-unit ethylene homologue of EM. The second glycol unit raises the boiling point sharply and shifts it out of the restricted short-chain group.
TM - Triethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, TM (CAS 112-35-6), carries three glycol units and a single methyl cap. The extended backbone gives a very high boiling point, low volatility and strong hygroscopicity.
EGP - Ethylene Glycol Monopropyl Ether
Ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, EGP (CAS 2807-30-9), sits between the ethyl and butyl homologues. It offers a middle point on the ethylene-series ladder where EE is too weak a solvent and EB evaporates too slowly.
EB - Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, EB or butyl glycol (CAS 111-76-2), is the workhorse of the ethylene series. Unlike the short-chain methyl and ethyl homologues it is not classified as a reproductive toxicant, so it remains in wide use.
DB - Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, DB or butyl carbitol (CAS 112-34-5), pairs a two-unit backbone with a butyl cap. Very high boiling and fully water miscible, it is the standard coupling solvent for heavy-duty cleaners.
TB - Triethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
Triethylene glycol monobutyl ether, TB (CAS 143-22-6), pairs a three-unit backbone with a butyl cap. It offers the strongest solvency of the triethylene mono-ethers while remaining water miscible and effectively non-volatile.
EDM - Ethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether(DME)
Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, EDM or monoglyme (CAS 110-71-4), has methyl groups on both ends, so it carries no hydroxyl at all. That makes it aprotic, which is why it is used with reagents that any alcohol would destroy.
DEDM - Diethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether
Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, DEDM or diglyme (CAS 111-96-6), is a high-boiling aprotic solvent that chelates metal cations strongly. It is classified as a reproductive toxicant in the EU and is subject to authorisation.
TEDM - Triethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether
Triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, TEDM or triglyme (CAS 112-49-2), has four ether oxygens on an open chain and no hydroxyl. That gives it exceptional cation-chelating power at a high boiling point.
TETREDM - Tetraethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether
Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, TETREDM or tetraglyme (CAS 143-24-8), is the longest common glyme, with five ether oxygens. It combines the strongest cation solvation in the series with a boiling point above 275 degrees.
DEDE - Diethylene Glycol Diethyl Ether
Diethylene glycol diethyl ether, DEDE (CAS 112-36-7), is the ethyl-capped analogue of diglyme. It is aprotic and high-boiling, with lower water miscibility than the dimethyl ether and a different regulatory position.
DEME - Diethylene Glycol Methyl Ethyl Ether
Diethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether, DEME (CAS 1002-67-1), is capped with a methyl group at one end and an ethyl at the other. That asymmetry gives properties between diglyme and the diethyl ether without blending two solvents.
NHD - Polyethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether
Polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether, NHD (CAS 24991-55-7), is the physical solvent used to scrub carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide from gas streams. It absorbs acid gases under pressure and releases them when pressure drops.
MPEG - Polyethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, MPEG (CAS 9004-74-4), is a polymer capped at one end and left with a single reactive hydroxyl at the other. That asymmetry is what makes controlled PEGylation and surfactant synthesis possible.
