Methylene Chloride, ACS – CH₂Cl₂ | CAS 75-09-2

Product Overview

Methylene Chloride, also known as Dichloromethane, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mildly sweet aroma. As an ACS Grade solvent, it meets high purity standards for laboratory and analytical work. It is widely used for extractions, chromatography, and organic synthesis due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. It evaporates quickly and is immiscible with water, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications.
