Superior Solvent Power and Industry ApplicationsMethylene Di Chloride offers outstanding solvent properties suitable for a broad range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, paint manufacturing, metal cleaning, and adhesives. Its compatibility with various materials, high purity, and industrial-grade classification make it an essential component in chemical synthesis and processing. Its unique ability to dissolve tough substances provides efficiency and reliability in specialized industrial operations.
Safe Handling and Storage RecommendationsMDC should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. The chemical is non-flammable and has a high autoignition temperature of 556C, yet proper ventilation and protective gear are advised to manage vapor exposure (odor threshold: 150 ppm). Stability is ensured when adhering to recommended storage guidelines, minimizing risks during transport and use.
FAQs of Methylene Di Chloride - MDC:
Q: How is Methylene Di Chloride (MDC) typically used in industrial processes?
A: MDC is widely employed as a solvent for adhesives, pharmaceuticals, paint removers, degreasing agents, and in metal cleaning. Its high solvency and rapid evaporation make it effective for dissolving paints, coatings, and residues in diverse manufacturing and processing environments.
Q: What are the key benefits of using MDC compared to other solvents?
A: MDCs primary benefits include its non-flammability in air, high purity (99.9%), and strong solvency for a variety of substances. It ensures efficient cleaning, precise chemical synthesis, and rapid action in paint stripping without contributing to fire hazards under standard conditions.
Q: When should MDC be stored or handled with particular care?
A: Careful handling is necessary at all times, especially to avoid inhalation or skin contact with vapors. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and incompatible substances to maintain stability and purity.
Q: Where is MDC commonly supplied from and in what packaging options?
A: MDC is commonly produced and exported from India, available in 250 kg drums, ISO tanks, or bulk shipments. This range of packaging accommodates industrial-scale requirements for manufacturers, exporters, importers, and suppliers.
Q: What is the process of producing Methylene Di Chloride?
A: MDC is produced industrially by chlorinating methane or methyl chloride using chlorine gas, typically with controlled temperature and catalysis to achieve high yield and purity suitable for industrial and technical-grade applications.
Q: How soluble is MDC in water, and what is its overall appearance?
A: MDC is moderately soluble in water (20 g/L at 20C) and appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, sweet smell. Its low viscosity and neutral pH make it suitable for a variety of applications requiring rapid spreading and dissolving capabilities.
