Versatile Industrial SolventMDC offers exceptional solvency for a variety of applications, particularly in the production of adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and paint removers. Its miscibility with most organic solvents and rapid evaporation make it a preferred choice in extraction processes and metal cleaning industries.
Safety and HandlingAlthough methylene dichloride is non-flammable and stable under recommended storage conditions, it is toxic if inhaled or swallowed and can cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper handling, storage in ventilated areas, and use of personal protective equipment are essential for safe usage.
Regulatory Compliance and PackagingOur MDC conforms to relevant chemical safety and quality standards, identified by UN Number 1593 and HS Code 29031200. The product is supplied in secure packaging options suitable for large-scale industrial requirements, supporting safe transport and extended shelf life.
FAQs of Methylene Dichloride MDC:
Q: How should Methylene Dichloride (MDC) be safely stored and transported?
A: MDC should be kept in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Transport is regulated under UN Number 1593, Class 6.1 (Toxic Substances), and it is typically shipped in 250 kg drums, ISO tanks, or in bulk according to international safety regulations.
Q: What are the main industrial uses of MSD (Dichloromethane)?
A: MDC is primarily used as a solvent in paint removers, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, metal cleaning, and various extraction processes due to its rapid evaporation rate and high solvency power.
Q: When is it necessary to use personal protective equipment with MDC?
A: Personnel should use appropriate protective equipmentsuch as gloves, goggles, and respiratory protectionwhenever handling MDC, as it is harmful if inhaled or swallowed and can irritate skin or eyes.
Q: Where is MDC commonly supplied from and what is its purity?
A: MDC is produced and exported chiefly from India, with an assay typically not less than 99.9% purity. It conforms to international quality standards for industrial and pharmaceutical use.
Q: What is the benefit of using MDC as a solvent in industrial applications?
A: The primary advantage is its effectiveness in dissolving a wide range of substances, its rapid evaporation, and its compatibility with most organic solvents, making it highly efficient for cleaning, extraction, and formulation processes.
Q: How does MDCs physical property impact its handling in process applications?
A: With a low boiling point (39.6C) and high vapor pressure, MDC evaporates quickly, aiding in efficient drying and cleaning, but also requires careful ventilation to manage vapor exposure during use.
