Methylene Dichloride in Bulk

Methylene dichloride, usually called MDC or DCM, is the standard extraction solvent of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. It is non-flammable, boils at only 40 degrees C so it strips off easily, and dissolves a wide range of organics. Those same properties make it valuable in paint stripping and foam manufacture. BulkFineChem supplies it to pharmaceutical manufacturers, adhesive producers and industrial users across India.

Specification

Purity, acidity and stabiliser content are stated on the batch Certificate of Analysis.

• CAS No. 75-09-2
• HSN Code 29031200
• Purity 99.9 percent minimum
• Appearance: clear colourless heavy liquid, sweetish odour
• Packing: 270 kg MS drums or road tanker

Applications

Its low boiling point makes recovery straightforward, which matters because solvent recovery drives the economics of most MDC processes.

• Extraction and reaction solvent in API manufacture
• Paint and varnish stripping formulations
• Blowing agent in flexible polyurethane foam
• Adhesive and cellulose triacetate processing
• Metal cleaning and degreasing

Safety, Handling and Compliance

MDC is not flammable but it is a suspected carcinogen and metabolises to carbon monoxide in the body. Vapour control is essential.

• Use only with effective local exhaust ventilation
• Vapour is heavier than air and collects in pits and low spaces
• Avoid all skin contact; use resistant gloves, not natural rubber
• Decomposes to toxic gases on contact with hot surfaces or flame
• SDS issued on request

Ordering

Pricing is quoted against purity, packing and delivery location. Send an enquiry with your application and volume.

• Minimum order quantity 250 kg
• GST tax invoice on every order
• Batch-wise Certificate of Analysis with each dispatch
• TDS and SDS available on request
• Transport by approved hazardous goods carrier with TREM card

FAQs

Questions buyers commonly ask about MDC.

• Is MDC flammable? No, but it decomposes to toxic gases near flames or hot surfaces.
• Can it be recovered and reused? Yes, its low boiling point makes distillation recovery straightforward.
• Which gloves should be used? Nitrile offers limited protection; use laminate or PVA and change frequently.
• Can I get a sample? Yes, trial quantities can be arranged.
• What documents are provided? GST invoice, batch CoA, SDS and TREM card.
