It is quite unlikely that the solvent properties of these two very similar compounds differ greatly - but it is very likely that solubility in water is much less for the diethyl than for the dimethyl. This pair exhibits this effect, as does the methyl, ethyl and cyclohexylpyrrolidones and perhaps other compounds in this same family. Other effects such as base strength or molecular size may affect dyeing efficiency on Nomex but it seems clear that solubility in water strongly influences efficiency within this family of dyeing aides.
