Products Description
What is Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane) CAS 75-09-2?
Methylene Chloride also known as Dichloromethane DCM, is a colourless, non-flammable and volatile liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon also known as dichloromethane. This substance is mainly used as a solvent in closed industrial systems to extract pharmaceuticals (vitamins, antibiotics), fine chemicals, agrochemicals, cellulose acetate, etc. DCM can also be a feedstock for the refrigerant R 32 and a laboratory agent. Can be used as an extraction solvent in the food and beverage manufacturing industry to remove caffeine from unroasted coffee beans and tea leaves.

uses
1. Paints, Coatings and Industrial Cleaning
CAS 75-09-2 Methylene Chloride (DCM) is a highly effective industrial solvent, used in the paints and coatings industry. Thanks to its excellent solvency and fast evaporation rate, it efficiently dissolves resins, cellulose derivatives, waxes, oils, and various film-forming materials. It is commonly used in paint removers, coating formulations, metal degreasers, and industrial cleaning products.
2. Pharmaceutical and Chemical Manufacturing
In the pharmaceutical industry, dichloromethane DCM is extensively used as an extraction solvent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), vitamins, antibiotics, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Its low boiling point allows easy solvent recovery, making it suitable for large-scale production processes. DCM is also widely employed as a reaction medium in chemical synthesis, supporting the manufacture of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemical products.
3. Electronics and Precision Cleaning
Due to its excellent degreasing properties and rapid evaporation, methylene chloride chemical is commonly used in electronics manufacturing and precision cleaning applications. It effectively removes oils, greases, flux residues, and contaminants from metal parts, electronic components, and industrial equipment without leaving significant residues.
4. Refrigerant and Chemical Intermediate Production
Methylene Chloride serves as an important chemical intermediate in the production of refrigerants and fluorinated compounds. It is used as a feedstock in the manufacturing of refrigerant gases and various chlorinated organic chemicals.
5. Food Processing and Extraction
Under strictly controlled industrial conditions and in compliance with local regulations, Dichloromethane raw material can be used as an extraction solvent in food processing applications. One of its most well-known uses is the decaffeination of coffee beans and tea leaves, where it efficiently removes caffeine while helping preserve flavor characteristics.
6. Adhesives and Specialty Formulations
In the adhesives industry, Methylene Chloride is frequently used to adjust viscosity, improve processing performance, and control drying rates. Its excellent compatibility with various polymers makes it suitable for adhesive formulations, sealants, and specialty coating systems where rapid solvent evaporation is required.
safety information
CAS 75-09-2 Methylene Chloride chemical is a volatile chlorinated solvent and should be handled in accordance with applicable safety regulations. During storage and use, ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapors or prolonged skin contact.
