Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is majorly used in skin treatment formulations in the form of topical creams or gels.
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is considered to be a safe and tolerable pharmaceutical-grade glycol ether when used at 99.9% purity.
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether also acts as an intracutaneous depot for multiple drugs to reach different layers of the skin.
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is massively gaining demand in dermatology sector as it has the ability to penetrate through the eisoderm of the skin and aid in healing the root cause.
Owing to these factors, the product is anticipated to witness high growth in pharmaceutical and personal care application in near future.
Ethylene oxide, which is precursor in manufacturing of DEGEE, is highly regulated by multiple regulatory authorities such as U.S. EPA.
These regulations impact the production and industrial consumption of ethylene oxide, thus affecting the entire manufacturing cycle of ethylene oxide-based products.
Currently, U.S. is one of the major producers of ethylene oxide owing to abundant availability of feedstock.
However, increased restrictions on ethylene oxide plants are anticipated to hinder Diethylene glycol monoethyl ethers production, which, in turn, is expected to have a negative impact on diethylene glycol monoethyl ether manufacturers.
