Dichloromethane (DCM): Your Reliable Partner for Industrial & Pharmaceutical Solutions

As a professional supplier of high-purity dichloromethane, we are committed to providing you with stable, high-quality products that meet global industry standards, helping your business reduce costs



In the complex world of industrial production and pharmaceutical manufacturing, finding a solvent that balances high performance, safety, and versatility is no easy task. Dichloromethane (DCM), with its unique physical and chemical properties, stands out as an indispensable "silent partner" in various industries—quietly powering processes that touch our daily lives, from the medicines we take to the products we use every day.

As a professional supplier of high-purity dichloromethane, we are committed to providing you with stable, high-quality products that meet global industry standards, helping your business reduce costs, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive edge in the global market. Let’s explore why DCM is the first choice for countless enterprises and how our products can support your operations.


What Makes Dichloromethane (DCM) Irreplaceable?


Dichloromethane (molecular formula: CH₂Cl₂, molecular weight: 84.93) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild ether-like odor. It is denser than water, miscible with most organic solvents, and slightly soluble in water—properties that make it a versatile and efficient solvent for a wide range of applications. Unlike flammable solvents such as petroleum ether and ether, DCM is non-flammable, which greatly reduces safety risks in large-scale industrial operations, especially in exothermic reactions.


Our dichloromethane boasts exceptional purity—ranging from 99% to 99.99%—with strict control over impurities such as water (≤100 mg/kg) and acidity (≤5 mg/kg as hydrochloric acid). We add appropriate stabilizers (0.1-0.2% ethanol or methanol) during production to prevent degradation by air and moisture, ensuring consistent product performance and long-term storage stability. These superior properties make our DCM suitable for even the most demanding applications, from pharmaceutical synthesis to precision cleaning.


Wide-Ranging Applications: Powering Multiple Industries


Dichloromethane’s strong solubility and low toxicity (with quick recovery after exposure) make it a preferred solvent in numerous industries. Here are its core application scenarios:

  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: DCM is an essential solvent for extracting active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and synthesizing drugs such as ampicillin, hydroxybenzylpenicillin, and cephalosporins. Its ability to form a clear phase separation with water (thanks to its high density) and rapid evaporation makes it ideal for liquid-liquid extraction, simplifying the purification process and improving product purity. It is also used in the decaffeination of coffee, ensuring the preservation of coffee flavor while removing caffeine efficiently.

  • Industrial Cleaning & Coating: As a powerful degreaser and paint remover, DCM effectively dissolves oils, greases, and organic residues on metal surfaces, electronic components, and printed circuit boards. It is widely used in the electronics industry for cleaning LCD screens and precision parts, as well as in the coating industry as a solvent for paints, inks, and adhesives—ensuring smooth application and strong adhesion.

  • Plastics & Foam Production: DCM serves as a key foaming agent in the production of polyurethane and polysulfone foam plastics, helping to create lightweight, porous materials with excellent insulation and shock absorption properties. It is also used as a raw material in the synthesis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and chloroprene rubber, contributing to the production of high-quality plastic and rubber products.

  • Other Industrial Uses: DCM is used as a refrigerant in low-pressure refrigeration systems and air conditioners, as well as a fumigant for grains. It also acts as a local anesthetic in dentistry and a fire extinguishing agent, showcasing its versatility across diverse industrial sectors.
