Methylene Chloride also known as Dichloromethane (CAS 75-09-2, chemical formula CH₂Cl₂) is a colorless, volatile liquid. It has a faint, sweet odor and a low boiling point of around 40 °C, traits derived from its simple molecular structure as a chlorinated hydrocarbon. Its strong organic solvency and easy evaporation make it uniquely suited for a wide array of industrial applications.
Methylene Chloride DCM dissolves a diverse range of organic compounds-from non-polar to moderately polar substances. It is fully miscible with most organic solvents yet only slightly soluble in water, a versatility that underpins its extensive use across industries.

Solvent Methylene Chloride (CH2Cl2) - Applications
Industrial Solvent: Methylene chloride ch2cl2 is extensively used in paint stripping, adhesive removal, metal cleaning, degreasing, and the formulation of aerosols.
Chemical Manufacturing: DCM Dichloromethane serves as a process solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibers, and polycarbonate resins. It is also a chemical intermediate in the production of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants.
Food & Beverage Industry: Historically, it was the primary solvent for decaffeinating coffee and extracting hops and spices, though safer methods are now more common.
Laboratory Use: In research and analytical chemistry, methylene chloride is a common solvent for extractions and chromatography due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds.
