DICHLOROMETHANE SPECIALLY DRIED AR
Dichloromethane is used as solvent in liquid-liquid extraction because caffeine has higher solubility in Dichloromethane as compared to other solvents. After separation of organic layer from the separating funnel it is then kept for evaporationso as to evaporate the dichloromethane present in it.
The major use of dichloromethane is as a solvent in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry for chemical reactions, purification and isolation of intermediates or products.
Dichloromethane is used as a solvent in food technology.
It is used in aerosol formulations.
It is am ethane foam blowing agent.
Used as a solvent in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products.
CH2Cl2 is used as a degreasing agent.
Used in the manufacturing of electronics.
Dichloromethane (DCM or methylene chloride) is an organochloride compound with the formula CH2Cl2. This colorless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like, sweet odour is widely used as a solvent. Although it is not miscible with water, it is polar, and miscible with many organic solvents.[11]
It is a highly volatile liquid (see fast facts table), but it is neither flammable nor explosive in air.
Dichloromethane is commonly produced by chlorinating methane.
