Methylene Chloride (MDC)

  Product Detail  

Methylene Di Chloride (MDC)

  Methylene Di Chloride also known as Di Chloro Methane .This colorless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like, sweet odour is widely used as a solvent.  Although it is not miscible with water, it is polar, and miscible with many organic solvents.

 MDC’s volatility and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds makes it a useful solvent for many chemical processes

Methylene chloride is predominantly used as a solvent in paint strippers and removers; as a process solvent in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and film coatings; as a metal cleaning and finishing solvent in electronics manufacturing; and as an agent in urethane foam blowing.

Methylene chloride is also approved for use as a postharvest fumigant for grains and strawberries and as a degreening agent for citrus fruit.
