Ko te Diethylene glycol he wai hinuhinu maamaa kore tae, kore kakara me te pumau.He paku pokarekare ano, he kore e waikura me te kore e paheke.Na tona roopu ether me te waipiro, ka whakaatu te diethylene glycol i nga ahuatanga matū o nga waipiro tuatahi me nga eter.He teitei ake te ira koropuha i te ethylene glycol, he nui ake te whakarewa.Ka uru te Diethylene glycol ki te wai, te etera, te waipiro aliphatic raro, te aldehydes me te ketone, ka whakarewahia tetahi wahanga ki te benzene, te waro tetrachloride, te monobenzene, te orthodichlorobenzene me te toluene.He maha nga waikano, kapia, hinu, nitrocellulose me te maha o nga matū waro.Na te kaha o te whakarewa, te iti o te wariu me te hygroscopicity, ka whakamahia i roto i nga whakahinuhinu pueru, hinu tapahi, hopi horoi maroke, waituhi ta, waituhi-a-mamae, me nga taaka rakau nongrain.I roto i te ahumahi kakano ka whakamahia te diethylene glycol hei kaihoko whakamahana mo te huruhuru, te rayon me te miro.Hei whakarewa mo nga waikano he kaiawhina nui ki te tae me te ta.Ko te hygroscopicity teitei o te diethylene glycol ka waiho hei kaihoko whakangawari mo te tupeka, pepa, hautai waihanga, kapia me te casein.He tino whai hua te Diethylene glycol mo te whakamaroketanga o te hau maori.Ko te ranunga o te diethylene glycol me te monoethanolamine ka tango i te makuku, te hauwai sulfide me te waro hauhauora mai i te hau maori.
