Where It Is Used

Applications

DCM delivers strong solvency and fast evaporation across a broad range of industrial processes.

Paint Stripping & Coating Removal

Removes paints, varnishes and industrial coatings quickly without damaging the substrate.

PU Foam Blowing Agent

A volatile blowing agent for flexible and rigid polyurethane foam production.

Pharmaceutical Solvent

Extraction and processing solvent for APIs and intermediates with low residue.

Metal Degreasing & Electronics Cleaning

Dissolves oils, fluxes and contaminants from precision metal and electronic parts.

Adhesives & PVC Glue Formulation

A fast-evaporating carrier solvent for contact adhesives and PVC cements.

Chemical Synthesis & Refrigerant Feedstock

A reaction medium and feedstock for specialty chemicals and HFC-32 refrigerant.

Why Choose DCM

Key Advantages

Performance and supply reliability that industrial buyers depend on.

Strong Solvency

A high Kauri-butanol value (≈136) dissolves a wide range of resins and contaminants.

Low-Boiling Fast Evaporation

Evaporates cleanly at low temperature, leaving no residue on parts or surfaces.

Non-Flammable

No flash point under normal conditions, supporting safer handling and storage.

Consistent High Purity

≥ 99.9% purity with GC testing and lot-level TDS/COA documentation.

INEOS-Backed Stable Supply

Supplied through the INEOS chlorinated solvents production system with reliable availability.

Technical Support

Application guidance on handling, storage and process integration from our team.

Supply & Logistics

Packaging & Delivery

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is methylene chloride flammable?
Methylene chloride is non-flammable under normal conditions and has no flash point, but it decomposes on contact with high heat or open flame to release phosgene. Always operate with effective ventilation and away from ignition and heat sources.
What is the typical purity?
Industrial-grade INEOS methylene chloride is supplied at ≥ 99.9% purity (typical), verified by GC testing, with a TDS and COA issued per lot.
What are the main uses?
Paint stripping and coating removal, PU foam blowing, pharmaceutical extraction, metal degreasing and electronics cleaning, adhesive and PVC glue formulation, and chemical synthesis including HFC-32 refrigerant feedstock.
How should it be stored?
Store below 30 °C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, strong alkalis and active metals, and keep containers sealed to limit moisture pickup.
What packaging and supply forms are available?
250 kg and 270 kg steel drums, 1200–1300 kg IBC containers, and bulk ISO tanker supply, with global delivery and export documentation.
How is safe handling managed?
Use in a well-ventilated area with chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and suitable respiratory protection; avoid inhalation of vapour and prevent contact with skin and eyes.
