Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether – Industrial Grade Reactive Solvent
Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether (commonly abbreviated as DEGVE) is a high-purity, water-miscible, vinyl-functional glycol ether widely used in industrial and specialty chemical formulations. Thanks to its dual reactivity — combining the solvency of diethylene glycol with the vinyl group for polymerization — DEGVE is an essential building block in UV-curable resins, inks, adhesives, and coatings.
At RealChemStore.org, we provide bulk quantities of industrial-grade Diethylene Glycol Monovinyl Ether with reliable global shipping and technical documentation for manufacturers and distributors.
🌍 Key Industrial Applications
1. UV-Curable Coatings and Inks
DEGVE acts as a reactive diluent in UV/EB-curable systems, improving flexibility, adhesion, and surface leveling in:
-
Industrial coatings
-
Inkjet and screen printing inks
-
Clear varnishes
2. Acrylic and Methacrylate Polymers
As a co-monomer, DEGVE introduces hydrophilic flexibility and weather resistance in polymers used for:
-
Automotive coatings
-
Flooring systems
-
Outdoor paints
3. Adhesives & Sealants
Enhances flow, open time, and bond strength in pressure-sensitive adhesives and reactive sealing systems.
4. Electronic and Optical Materials
Used in photoresists and optical coatings for its polymerization control and moisture resistance.
