Min 99.9% Pure
A clear, colorless liquid with a moderately sweet, penetrating, ether-like odor. It is a highly volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent, known for its strong solvency power and non-flammability, making it essential for paint stripping, pharmaceutical extraction, and foam blowing.
Methylene Chloride (MDC), also known as Dichloromethane (DCM), is an organochloride compound. Although it is not miscible with water, it is polar, and miscible with many organic solvents. It is widely used as a solvent in many different industries, from paint stripping to pharmaceuticals, and even in the food industry for decaffeination of coffee and tea.
Ruvon International supplies premium quality Methylene Chloride sourced from leading global manufacturers. Our MDC is stabilized (typically with Amylene or Cyclohexane) to prevent decomposition, ensuring high purity and stability for critical applications like API manufacturing and Polyurethane foam production.

Methylene Chloride's low boiling point (39.6°C) and powerful solvency make it unique. It dissolves a vast array of organic compounds, including cellulose esters, fats, waxes, and resins, and then evaporates rapidly without leaving residue. This property is crucial for heat-sensitive processes in pharmaceutical extraction and for creating rapid-drying adhesives and coatings. Its high density also aids in phase separation during chemical processing.
Crucial process solvent for extracting antibiotics and vitamins, and for tablet coating.
Primary ingredient in paint removers due to its ability to swell and lift coatings.
Used as a blowing agent in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foams.
Solvent for bonding agents, particularly for acrylics and polycarbonates.
Medium for carrying out chemical reactions due to its stability.
Used for degreasing metal parts and cleaning electronic components.
Standard heavy-duty drums for safe storage.
Bulk supply (20MT - 25MT) for large industrial users.
Methylene Chloride is highly volatile and can be hazardous if inhaled in high concentrations.
