Product Overview
Dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride, is a versatile solvent widely used in various industries due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic substances. With its low boiling point, it is commonly employed in extraction and separation processes, including the extraction of oils, resins, and rubber. Its ability to maintain low temperatures makes it ideal for use as a low-temperature bath and coolant in industrial applications, as well as in scientific experiments that require precise temperature control. Additionally, methylene chloride is used in the pharmaceutical industry for drug preparation, particularly in extracting active ingredients, and for cleaning medical devices to ensure they are free from contaminants before use.
