The following table lists the solubilities and miscibilities of different resins, solvents, inorganic salts and liquids in four representatives of the Glymes range, specifically:
Monoglyme (monoethylene glycol dimethyl ether)
Diglyme (diethylene glycol dimethyl ether)
Triglyme (triethylene glycol dimethyl ether)
Tetraglyme (tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether
The solubilities have been determined at 20°C.
The solubility of solids is indicated in grams per 100 g Glyme solvent.
soluble(*) = soluble upon heating
