Methylene chloride（Cat No.:R036283）, also known as dichloromethane (DCM), is a volatile, colorless liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is widely used as a solvent in paint removers, degreasers, adhesives, and in chemical synthesis due to its ability to dissolve a broad range of organic compounds. DCM has a low boiling point and high volatility, making it useful in extraction and evaporation processes. Although non-flammable, it poses health risks, including central nervous system depression and potential carcinogenicity. Proper ventilation and protective measures are essential when handling this chemical in industrial or laboratory settings.
