Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) Liquid, CAS 616-38-6
Dimethyl carbonate (DMC, CAS 616-38-6) is a colorless, low-toxicity ester with excellent solvency, biodegradability and a favorable safety profile compared with many traditional solvents. It is increasingly used as a "green solvent" and as a building block in organic synthesis. Gnee Bio supplies DMC liquid for industrial and battery-electrolyte applications.

Applications
1. Green Solvent
DMC has high solubility and can dissolve many organic and inorganic substances. It is commonly used as a solvent in the coatings, adhesives, detergents, inks and glue industries, offering lower toxicity than many traditional solvents.
2. Chemical Intermediate
DMC is a common chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of other compounds, for example urethanes, polycarbonates, oxalates and oxalic acid.
3. Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolyte
Dimethyl carbonate is commonly used in the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries. As a conductive medium and solvent, it facilitates ion conduction and supports the chemical reactions within the battery.
4. Pressurized Synthesis Reagent
In some pressurized organic synthesis reactions, DMC can increase the pressure or the solubility of reactant gases, thereby improving reaction rates and yields.
Handling and Storage
DMC is a flammable liquid (flash point approximately 17 °C, closed cup); keep away from ignition sources.
Store in a cool, ventilated area, away from strong oxidizers.
Keep containers tightly sealed; use grounding during transfer.
Refer to the SDS before handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is methyl carbonate the same as dimethyl carbonate?
A: No. Methyl carbonate and dimethyl carbonate are different compounds. This product is dimethyl carbonate (DMC, CAS 616-38-6).
Q: What is DMC used for?
A: DMC is used as a green solvent in coatings, adhesives, inks and detergents, as a lithium-ion battery electrolyte component, and as an intermediate for polycarbonates and oxalates.
Q: Is DMC safe as a solvent?
A: DMC has a favorable toxicity profile compared with many traditional solvents, but it is flammable; handle with fire precautions and follow the SDS.
Q: Can DMC be used in lithium-ion battery electrolyte?
A: Yes. DMC is a common solvent and conductive medium in lithium-ion battery electrolytes; battery-grade purity is available on request.
