Methylene Chloride (MDC)

Dichloromethane (Industrial / Pharma Grade)

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.

CAS Number 75-09-2
H.S. Code 29031200
Appearance Clear Heavy Liquid

Product Overview

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.

High Volatility & Solvency

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.

Industrial Applications

Pharmaceuticals

Crucial process solvent for extracting antibiotics and vitamins, and for tablet coating.

Paint Stripping

Primary ingredient in paint removers due to its ability to swell and lift coatings.

PU Foam

Used as a blowing agent in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foams.

Adhesives

Solvent for bonding agents, particularly for acrylics and polycarbonates.

Chemical Synthesis

Medium for carrying out chemical reactions due to its stability.

Electronics

Used for degreasing metal parts and cleaning electronic components.

Packaging Options

250kg / 270kg Steel Drums

Standard heavy-duty drums for safe storage.

ISO Tank / Road Tanker

Bulk supply (20MT - 25MT) for large industrial users.

Safety & Handling Protocols

Toxic & Volatile

Methylene Chloride is highly volatile and can be hazardous if inhaled in high concentrations.

  • Ventilation: Use only in well-ventilated areas or with proper exhaust systems. Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas.
  • PPE: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (PVA or Viton), safety goggles, and protective clothing. Use organic vapor respirators if exposure limits are exceeded.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent evaporation.
