Methylene Chloride (MDC)

Description

What is Methylene Chloride (MDC)?

Methylene Chloride (MDC), also known as Dichloromethane (DCM), is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild, sweet aroma. It is a highly versatile chemical widely used as a solvent in various industrial, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications. Though immiscible with water, MDC mixes easily with most organic solvents, making it an essential compound in chemical processing, extraction, and formulation.

At Chemex Chemicals, we are one of the leading importers and suppliers of Methylene Chloride in India, trusted by industries since 1986 for delivering high-quality solvents with consistent purity.
