Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether / Di(ethylene glycol) Vinyl Ether 98%
Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether – (CAS 112-25-4) Supplier in South Africa
Overview of Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether
Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether, also known as Di(ethylene glycol) Vinyl Ether, is a high-purity, colorless liquid with a minimum purity of 98%. It is a versatile chemical widely used as a reactive diluent, monomer for polymer synthesis, and intermediate in specialty chemical production.
Its excellent solubility in organic solvents and reactivity in vinyl polymerization makes it valuable in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and resin formulations.
As a trusted chemical supplier in South Africa, Forge Chemicals Limited provides high-quality Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether suitable for industrial, research, and manufacturing applications.

Production Methods
Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether is typically produced through the vinylation of diethylene glycol, using controlled catalytic conditions to achieve high purity (≥ 98%). The product is then distilled and purified to meet industrial and specialty chemical standards.
Industrial Applications
Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether is widely used across industries due to its reactive vinyl group and solvent properties.
Polymer Industry: Used as a monomer or comonomer in polymer synthesis and UV-curable resins.
Coatings and Adhesives: Acts as a reactive diluent in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and inks.
Chemical Intermediates: Used in the production of specialty chemicals, including surfactants and functional polymers.
Research and Development: Used as a reagent in laboratory-scale polymerization and chemical synthesis.
Safety Information
Handling: Flammable and reactive. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin or eyes. Use in well-ventilated areas with proper personal protective equipment.
Storage: Store in tightly sealed, flame-proof containers away from heat, sparks, and strong oxidizers. Preferably under inert atmosphere.
Disposal: Dispose of according to local environmental, chemical, and safety regulations.
