ʻO Diethylene glycol kahi wai ʻaila ʻaʻole ʻole, ʻaʻala ʻole a kūpaʻa. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi, noncorrosive a nonvolatile. Ma muli o kāna hui etera a me ka waiʻona, hōʻike ka diethylene glycol i nā waiwai kemika i ʻike ʻia o nā ʻawaʻawa mua a me nā eter. ʻOi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kona wahi hoʻolapalapa ma mua o ko ka ethylene glycol, a ʻoi aku ka nui o kāna mea hoʻoheheʻe. Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka Diethylene glycol me ka wai, nā eter, nā waiʻona aliphatic haʻahaʻa, nā aldehydes a me nā ketones a hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o benzene, carbon tetrachloride, monobenzene, orthodichlorobenzene a me toluene. Hoʻoheheʻe ia i nā mea pena, resins, aila, nitrocellulose a me nā mea ola. Ma muli o kona mana solvent, haʻahaʻa volatility a me ka hygroscopicity, hoʻohana ʻia ia i nā lubricants textile, ʻoki ʻaila, kopa hoʻomaʻemaʻe maloʻo, ʻīnika paʻi, inika hoʻonohonoho mahu, a me nā ʻōpala lāʻau nongrain. I ka ʻoihana lole, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo diethylene glycol ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa no ka hulu hipa, rayon, a me ka pulupulu. Ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoheheʻe no nā mea hoʻoluʻu, hana ia i mea kōkua koʻikoʻi i ke kala a me ka paʻi ʻana. ʻO ka hygroscopicity kiʻekiʻe o ka diethylene glycol e lilo ia i mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi no ka paka, ka pepa, nā sponges synthetic, glues a me ka casein. He mea pono loa ka Diethylene glycol i ka maloo o ke kinoea maoli. ʻO ka hui ʻana o ka diethylene glycol a me ka monoethanolamine e hoʻoneʻe i ka wai, hydrogen sulfide a me carbon dioxide mai ke kinoea maoli.
