Overview
Methylene Chloride, also known as Dichloromethane, is a colorless, volatile liquid widely used as a powerful solvent in industrial and commercial applications. Known for its high solvency power and low boiling point, it is commonly employed in paint stripping, metal cleaning, and chemical manufacturing. Additionally, Methylene Chloride serves as a solvent in the production of adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and polycarbonate plastics.
Thanks to its rapid evaporation and effectiveness in dissolving a variety of substances, Methylene Chloride is a valuable component in precision cleaning and specialty formulations. However, its use requires strict adherence to safety guidelines due to its toxicity and potential environmental impact.
