Description
Methylene Chloride, also referred to as Dichloromethane (DCM), embodies a colorless, volatile liquid renowned for its solvent capabilities. Despite its limited miscibility with water, its polar nature enables dissolution of various organic solvents, rendering it indispensable in numerous chemical processes. Beyond industry, it finds extensive use in the food sector for decaffeinating coffee and tea and extracting flavorings from hops. Its volatility further enhances its value as an aerosol spray propellant and a blowing agent for polyurethane foams.
Film base manufacturing
involves the production of the foundational material used in various types of films, such as photographic film and packaging film.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Methylene chloride, also known as dichloromethane, finds application in pharmaceutical manufacturing for various purposes, including solvent extraction and purification processes due to its excellent solvating properties and relatively low toxicity compared to other chlorinated solvents.
