Diethylene glycol is an organic compound of the family of two-factor or di-alcohol alcohols. Diethylene glycol is used to produce polyester resins, polyurethanes, and TEG production. Diethylene glycol has a high toxicity. 

The name of the substance (Persian): 2-hydroxyethyl ethane di 

English name: 2-hydroxy ethoxy) Ethan-2- ol

The ethylene glycol is an organic, clear, odorless and odorless glycol. It is compatible with water and organic solvents. Diethylene glycol has two groups of ethylene, linked together by an oxygen atom. Diethylene glycol, like all other two-factor alcohols, has two OH-functional groups. Ethylene Glycocco is also known as diethylene glycol ethylene di-glycol  2,2- oxybisethanol 3- oxa-1,5-pentanediol dihydroxy diethyl ether.  

 
Indications: 

Polyester resins, Softeners, Nitrocellulose solvent, Polyurethane, TEG production 

Production methods: 

In the tri-ethylene glycol industry along with di-tetra and man-ethylene glycol in the high-temperature ethylene oxidation reaction, in the presence of a silver oxide catalyst. 

Chemical reactions: 

Ethylene is used as a protective group for the carbonyl group in organic synthesis. Preparation of ketones or aldehydes in the presence of acid catalyst. 

Safety Information: 

Diethylene glycol has high toxicity. It burns toxic fumes during burning. Eating an ethylene glycol on the central nerves affects and causes confusion.
