Description
TECHNICAL DICHLOROMETHANE
Other Names: Methylene chloride, DCM, dichloromethane, Diclone
CAS Number: 75-09-2
Chemical Formula: CH₂Cl₂
Molar Mass: 84.93 g/mol
Appearance: Colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor
Technical dichloromethane is a chlorinated organic solvent with very good solvency properties. The product is characterized by high volatility, low boiling point and the ability to dissolve many organic substances. It is mainly used in technical processes, cleaning, degreasing, coating removal, extraction and as an auxiliary solvent in chemical processes. Technical grade is intended for applications where analytical-grade purity is not required.
Chemical and Physical Properties
Density: approx. 1.33 g/cm³ at 20°C
Melting Point: -96.7°C
Boiling Point: 39.6°C
Solubility in Water: Slightly soluble, approx. 13 g/L at 20°C
Solubility in Other Solvents: Miscible with most organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: approx. 47 kPa at 20°C
Flash Point: Non-flammable under standard tests, but may form flammable vapors under certain conditions
Autoignition Temperature: approx. 605°C
Explosive Limits: Lower approx. 13%, upper approx. 22% in air
Applications
Solvent Use: Widely used for cleaning, degreasing and removal of coatings and organic residues.
Technical Processes: Used as an auxiliary solvent in technological processes.
Extraction: Applied as an extraction solvent for many organic substances.
Chemical Synthesis: Used as a reaction medium or solvent in selected chemical processes.
