Dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon characterized by moderate polarity and high volatility, enabling efficient dissolution of a wide range of organic compounds. Its physical properties support rapid evaporation and effective solvency under controlled conditions. Dichloromethane (CAS 75-09-2) is typically used as an industrial solvent, where it supports extraction, formulation, and processing operations in regulated industrial environments. For industrial users, the material is supplied with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications, and complete documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, supporting bulk supply requirements.

Product Description
Dichloromethane is a compound produced by the substitution of two hydrogen atoms in the methane molecule by chlorine, with the molecular formula CH2Cl2. It is a colorless, transparent, heavier than water, volatile liquid, with an ether-like smell and sweetness, non-combustible, methylene chloride is slightly soluble in water, miscible with most commonly used organic solvents, and can also be miscible with other chlorine-containing solvents, ether, ethanol and N,N-dimethylformamide in any proportion. Relative density 1.3266 (20/4°C). Melting point -95.1°C. Boiling point 40°C. Non-flammable low boiling point solvents are commonly used to replace flammable petroleum ether, ethers, etc., and can be used as refrigerants and fire extinguishing agents.
