Description
Diethyl Carbonate is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant odor. It is slightly less denser than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Flash point 25°C. Vapors are heavier than air. When heated to high temperatures it may emit acrid smoke. Used as a solvent.

Application
1. Mainly used as nitrocellulose, resin and some drugs (such as erythromycin) solvent, and organic synthesis (such as phenobarbital, pyrethrin) intermediates.
2. Diethyl carbonate finds application as solvent for lithium ion battery electrolytes. The use of high quality battery grade electrolytes having extremely low water (<10 ppm) and acid (<10 ppm) contents are critical for achieving high electrochemical performance.
