Product Description

Methylene Dichloride, also known as dichloromethane (DCM), is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor. It is a chlorinated solvent commonly used in various industrial applications. Methylene Dichloride is produced through the chlorination of methane or the reaction of methane with chlorine gas. It is valued for its low boiling point, high solvency power, and relatively low toxicity compared to other chlorinated solvents. Methylene Dichloride finds extensive use as a solvent in the production of adhesives, coatings, paints, and pharmaceuticals. It is also utilized as a process solvent in the manufacture of cellulose acetate, polyurethane foam, and film coatings. Additionally, Methylene Dichloride serves as a blowing agent in the production of foamed plastics and as an extraction solvent in various chemical processes. However, it should be handled with care as prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.

Methylene Dichloride is classified as a hazardous chemical, and proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, should be observed when working with this compound
