Diethylene glycol ethyl ether(Cat No.: R043437), also known as Transcutol® or DEET, is a clear, hygroscopic liquid used as a solvent and penetration enhancer in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations. It consists of two ethylene glycol units with an ethyl ether terminal group, offering excellent solubility for both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances. Its low volatility and good dermal absorption properties make it ideal for topical drug delivery systems. Diethylene glycol ethyl ether is intended for research, formulation development, and regulated industrial applications.
