Production Process of Diethylene Glycol Dibutyl Ether

The extensive Diethylene Glycol Dibutyl Ether production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production from Diethylene Glycol Butyl Ether: This method of production involves the synthesis of Diethylene Glycol Dibutyl Ether by using diethylene glycol butyl ether as one of the starting materials. The synthesis begins with the reaction of sodium hydride with toluene, followed by the addition of butyl bromide and diethylene glycol butyl ether at 50°C. The reaction results in the formation of diethylene glycol dibutyl ether as the final product.

Diethylene glycol dibutyl ether (DBDG) or dibutyl carbitol appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a slight characteristic odor. The molecular formula of the compound is C12H26O3. It has a molecular weight of 218.34 g/mol. It has a low freezing point of -60°C and a high boiling point of 256°C. The compound is miscible with various organic solvents but has low solubility in water of around 1.4% m/m at 20°C. The density of the compound is around 0.883 g/cm³ at 20°C, and its flash point is around 120°C. Moreover, the compound is chemically stable under normal conditions, but it may react violently with strong oxidizing agents and is incompatible with nitric acid. The compound may form unstable peroxides when exposed to air.
