I-Diethylene glycol yinto ecacileyo engenambala, engenavumba kunye ne-oyile ezinzileyo.Ikwabonakala kancinci, ayidleki kwaye ayiguquguquki.Ngenxa ye-ether yayo kunye neqela le-alcohol, i-diethylene glycol ibonisa iimpawu zeekhemikhali ze-alcohol eziphambili kunye ne-ethers.Indawo yokubilisa iphezulu kakhulu kune-ethylene glycol, kwaye i-solvent yayo inkulu.I-Diethylene glycol iyadityaniswa namanzi, ii-ethers, ii-alcohol ezisezantsi ze-aliphatic, i-aldehydes kunye nee-ketones kwaye zinyibilika kancinane kwi-benzene, i-carbon tetrachloride, i-monobenzene, i-orthodichlorobenzene kunye ne-toluene.Inyibilikisa iidayi ezininzi, iirasi, ioyile, i-nitrocellulose kunye nezinto ezininzi eziphilayo.Ngenxa yamandla ayo okunyibilikisa, ukuguquguquka okuphantsi kunye ne-hygroscopicity, isetyenziswa kwizithambisi ze-textile, i-oyile yokusika, isepha yokucoca eyomileyo, i-inki yokuprinta, i-inki esetyenzisiweyo kunye ne-nongrain wood stains.Kushishino lwamalaphu i-diethylene glycol isetyenziswa njenge-arhente yokumisela uboya, irayon, kunye nomqhaphu.Njenge-solvent yeedayi yenza umncedisi oxabisekileyo ekudayeni nasekushicileleni.I-hygroscopicity ephezulu ye-diethylene glycol yenza ukuba i-agent esebenzayo yokuthambisa icuba, iphepha, izipontshi zokwenziwa, iglues kunye ne-casein.I-Diethylene glycol ibaluleke kakhulu ekupheliseni igesi yendalo.Umxube we-diethylene glycol kunye ne-monoethanolamine uya kususa umswakama, i-hydrogen sulfide kunye ne-carbon dioxide kwigesi yendalo.
