Dichloromethane (Methylene Chloride) | 75-09-2

Description :

Overview of Dichloromethane

Dichloromethane (DCM), also known as Methylene Chloride, is a highly efficient chlorinated solvent widely used in pharmaceuticals, chemical synthesis, paints & coatings, adhesives, laboratory research, and industrial manufacturing processes. Known for its exceptional solvency, rapid evaporation rate, and chemical stability, Dichloromethane is considered one of the most versatile industrial solvents used worldwide.

The chemical formula for Dichloromethane is CH2Cl2. Its structure is comprised of a carbon atom at the centre joined by two hydrogen atoms and two chlorine atoms. These provide powerful solvation properties. Dichloromethane can be miscible with a variety of organic solvents, and it is extensively utilised as a laboratory as well as industrial solvent. 

Due to its low boiling point and fast evaporation characteristics, Dichloromethane is extensively used in industries requiring high-speed processing and efficient solvent performance.

ChemicalBull is a trusted Dichloromethane manufacturer, supplier, distributor, wholesaler, and global exporter offering high-purity industrial-grade material for manufacturers, formulators, laboratories, and industrial processing companies across international markets.
