What is diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DM)?
Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DM) CAS 111-90-0 is a ether-alcohol derivative. The ether being relatively unreactive. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DM) is mainly used as a solvent for coatings, dyes, printing inks, stamp pad inks, oils, resins, etc.

Key Applications of DEGME:
- Paints & Coatings
DM acts as a coalescing agent and flow improver, enhancing film formation in:
Water-based paints
Acrylic and latex coatings
Industrial wood coatings
- Anti-Icing Fuel Additive
DM is also employed as a component in anti-icing fuel additives, where it helps prevent the formation of ice crystals in fuel systems by dissolving water and lowering its freezing point.
- Printing Inks
Due to its controlled evaporation rate, DM is widely used as a solvent in flexographic and gravure printing inks.
- Textile Industry
DM serves as a carrier solvent for dyeing polyester fibers and blends.
- Cleaning & Detergents
Used as a solvent in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and glass cleaners.
