Packaging and shipping
Dichloromethane (Methylene Chloride, abbreviated as MC or DCM), with the chemical formula CH₂Cl₂, is a colorless transparent, highly volatile, organic chlorinated hydrocarbon liquid with a pungent sweet taste similar to ethers. The dichloromethane product provided by Anhui Yipu Chemicals has strict purity control and low moisture and impurity content. Its most notable characteristic is an extremely low boiling point (approximately 39.8°C), non-flammability, and strong solubility for various organic substances such as resins, oils, and rubbers. These properties make it an ideal alternative to flammable solvents like petroleum ether and ethyl ether, and it plays an irreplaceable role in industrial cleaning, paint stripping, pharmaceutical synthesis, and the manufacture of special materials.
Product Description
Anhui Eapearl Chemical Co., Ltd., as a professional chemical supplier in China, strictly complies with all national laws and regulations regarding the control of hazardous chemicals and new pollutants. We are committed to providing our customers with high-quality, stable and reliable dichloromethane (MC) products. We deeply understand the core value of dichloromethane as a low-boiling-point, non-flammable and highly soluble special solvent. At the same time, safety, compliance, environmental protection and sustainable development are placed at the top of our operational priorities.
Product Introduction
The core value of dichloromethane lies in its “non-flammable safety”, “rapid evaporation efficiency” and “broad-spectrum and powerful solubility”, which makes it the preferred solvent in multiple fields with extremely high requirements for safety and cleanliness.
Dust remover and demolding agent (traditional main application): As the core component of an efficient paint remover, it can quickly soften and remove various coatings such as epoxy resin and polyurethane, without damaging the base materials such as metal and wood.
Industrial and precision cleaning: Used for degreasing metal parts, cleaning precision molds and removing oil from electronic circuit boards, it is favored due to its characteristic of no residue after evaporation.
Chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis: As an important reaction solvent, extractant and crystallization medium, it is widely used in the synthesis and purification processes of antibiotics (such as ampicillin), pharmaceutical intermediates and pesticides.
Polyurethane (PU) foaming agent: As a physical foaming agent for producing polyurethane hard foam, it helps to form uniform and fine cell structures. Other fields: It has been used as an aerosol propellant, a solvent in film production, a solvent for petroleum dewaxing, and for extracting active ingredients from natural products (such as decaffeinating coffee beans and extracting lanolin from wool).
