Diethylene Glycol (DEG) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- DEG
- 2,2'-Oxydiethanol
- Ethylene Diglycol
- Diglycol
Diethylene glycol suppliers serving Malaysian industrial buyers with DEG for resins, polyester, humectant, gas drying and coolant work. Also called 2,2'-oxydiethanol, ethylene diglycol and diglycol, this clear colourless hygroscopic liquid is a distinct chemical from monoethylene glycol and triethylene glycol. CAS 111-46-6; formula C4H10O3.
Commercial supply is commonly industrial grade for general solvent, humectant and formulation use, or high-purity material for unsaturated polyester resin and plasticiser production. State the required grade and any process limits so the quotation can match the specification you buy against.
Resin and plastics plants use DEG as a glycol component and solvent. Textile processors use it as a humectant, while gas processors and coolant blenders specify it for dehydration and antifreeze duty. Density is typically about 1.118 g/cm3; it is soluble in water, alcohol and ethers.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. DEG is toxic if swallowed and is supplied for industrial use only, never as a food or oral product substitute.

Diethylene Glycol grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial grade diethylene glycol | clear, colourless liquid | — | General industrial solvent, humectant, antifreeze and coolant formulation, and process use where a standard industrial DEG specification is enough. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity diethylene glycol | clear, colourless liquid | — | Unsaturated polyester resin, polyester and plasticiser production where the buyer states tighter purity or process limits than a general industrial cut. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Diethylene Glycol applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- health-hazard
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances. Diethylene glycol is toxic if swallowed and must never be used in food, drug or oral products; keep it clearly labelled and segregated from food-grade glycols. Handle with gloves and safety glasses. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about diethylene glycol
Is diethylene glycol the same as DEG, diglycol or ethylene diglycol?
Yes. Diethylene glycol, DEG, diglycol, ethylene diglycol and 2,2'-oxydiethanol are names for the same chemical (CAS 111-46-6). Use the full name or CAS on the enquiry so the correct material is quoted.
Is diethylene glycol the same as monoethylene glycol or triethylene glycol?
No. DEG, monoethylene glycol (MEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG) are separate glycols with different formulas, specifications and uses. They are not interchangeable grades of one product. Order by the full chemical name or CAS when the process is grade-critical.
Which DEG grade should I request?
Industrial grade suits general solvent, humectant, coolant and process use. High-purity material is commonly requested for unsaturated polyester resin, polyester and plasticiser work with tighter limits. Send your target specification so the quotation can match the process.
Can diethylene glycol be used for gas dehydration or coolants?
DEG is used in gas dehydration and drying duty and in industrial antifreeze or coolant formulation. Describe the system and any required specification with the enquiry so the quoted grade is assessed against that duty.
Why must DEG be kept away from food-grade glycols?
Diethylene glycol is toxic if swallowed and must never substitute for a food or pharmaceutical grade glycol such as propylene glycol. Keep DEG clearly labelled and physically segregated from food-grade stock. Supply is for industrial use only.
What details are needed for a diethylene glycol price enquiry?
Provide the grade or specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and required documents so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
