Dichloromethane

Description:
Dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is classified as a halogenated hydrocarbon and has the chemical formula CH2Cl2. This substance is widely used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint stripping, degreasing, and as a solvent for organic compounds. Dichloromethane has a relatively low boiling point, which makes it effective for extraction processes. It is moderately soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents. While it is effective in many applications, dichloromethane poses health risks; it is a suspected carcinogen and can cause respiratory and neurological effects upon exposure. Proper safety measures, including adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment, are essential when handling this chemical. Additionally, due to its potential environmental impact, regulations govern its use and disposal in many regions.
