Diisopropyl ether

Diisopropyl ether

Di-iso-propyl ether; Isopropyl ether; 2-Isopropoxypropane

CAS 108-20-3

Chemical Formula C6H14O

Molecular Weight 108.18 g/mol

Diisopropyl ether is volatile, meaning it evaporates easily at room temperature, and has a low boiling point. It is also lighter than water and does not mix well with it, forming a separate layer when combined. Diisopropyl ether is known for its high reactivity and potential to pose serious hazards if not properly managed. Because of its ability to form hazardous peroxides, which can detonate under impact, heat, or friction.

Industrial Uses

1. Cleaning & Disinfectants

  • Solvent in Degreasers: Employed in industrial degreasers for its ability to dissolve heavy oils and greases effectively.
  • Surface Sanitizer: Can be part of formulations for surface sanitizers, providing quick evaporation and leaving surfaces dry and clean.

2. Energy

  • Fuel Additives: used as a fuel additive in the energy industry primarily to enhance combustion efficiency and reduce emissions
  • Completion Fluid Component: Used in oil well completion fluids to control pressure and improve the efficiency of well completion processes.
  • Chemical Recovery Agent: Acts as a recovery agent in the extraction of oil from various sources, enhancing yield and minimizing waste.

3. Flavors & Fragrances

  • Solvents: Acts as a carrier solvent for essential oils in fragrance formulations, ensuring even distribution and stability.
  • Flavor Stabilizer: Used as a stabilizer in flavor formulations to prevent degradation of volatile compounds and maintain flavor integrity.

4. Metal Treatment

  • Degreasers:Used in degreasers as a non-polar solvent to remove oils, waxes, and hydrophobic residues from metal surfaces.Effective for surface preparation before processes like plating, painting, or anodizing.
  • Surface Finish Enhancer: Used in surface finishing treatments to improve the aesthetics and performance of metal products.

5. Lubricants & Automobiles

  • Solvent: Used as a solvent or extraction agent in the formulation of lubricants and in the automotive industry for blending or processing oil-based products due to its low polarity and volatility.
  • Fuel Injector Cleaner: Functions as a component in fuel injector cleaners, helping to dissolve deposits and improve fuel efficiency.
