Diethyl Carbonate

Product Description

Diethyl Carbonate (C₅H₁₀O₃) is a colourless, clear liquid with a ethereal odour. Supplied by LANXESS, this carbonate ester combines a favourable toxicological and ecological profile with excellent solvency power, making it an attractive alternative to more hazardous conventional solvents.

This versatile ester is widely used as an organic solvent and as a reactant in organic synthesis, for example in ethoxycarbonylation reactions. A key growth application is its use as a component of electrolyte mixtures in lithium batteries, where its electrochemical stability and low viscosity support high-performance cell formulations. Its clean burning behaviour also makes it of interest as a fuel additive.

Key Features:

• Clear, colourless liquid with mild ethereal odour
• Versatile solvent with a favourable toxicological profile
• Reactant for organic synthesis, including ethoxycarbonylation
• Suitable for electrolyte mixtures in lithium batteries
• Reliable quality with global supply support
