Why is dichloromethane (methylene chloride) used as a solvent?

Wide solubility: Dichloromethane (DCM) can dissolve a wide variety of organic substances, such as plastics, resins, adhesives, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

 

Ideal for extraction: DCM has a low boiling point (approximately 40°C), is easily removed, and does not cause thermal damage to the extract.

 

High volatility and low residue: Methylene chloride solvent evaporates rapidly and leaves little residue, making it suitable for cleaning, degreasing, and aerosol applications.

 

Ideal for separation processes: DCM (CAS 75-09-2) is denser than water and immiscible with water, therefore it is widely used for extracting organic compounds from aqueous solutions.
