Dichloromethane (DCM), also known as methylene chloride, has several major and common uses across various industries. Some of these include:
- Paint Stripping: DCM is commonly used as a paint stripper or paint remover due to its ability to effectively dissolve and remove paint from surfaces, including metal, wood, and plastic.
- Degreasing: It is used as a degreasing agent for cleaning metal surfaces and removing oil, grease, and other contaminants from machinery and parts.
- Solvent in Chemical Reactions: DCM is a versatile solvent used in chemical laboratories for various reactions, such as extraction, crystallization, and chromatography.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: It plays a role in pharmaceutical processes, including the extraction of active compounds from natural sources and the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates.
- Extraction of Natural Products: DCM is used to extract natural products, such as essential oils, flavors, and fragrances, from plant materials.
- Production of Polycarbonate Plastics: It is an essential component in the production of polycarbonate plastics, which are used in various applications, including eyeglass lenses, CDs, and automotive parts.
- Foam Blowing Agent: DCM is employed as a foaming agent in the production of foams and expanded plastics, like foam insulation.
- Adhesive Manufacturing: It is used in the formulation of adhesives and sealants, helping to improve their bonding properties.
- Aerosol Propellant: DCM is used as a propellant in aerosol products, such as spray paints and insect repellents.
- Caffeine Extraction: In the food industry, DCM can be used to decaffeinate coffee and tea by selectively extracting caffeine from these beverages.
- Use in a Well-Ventilated Area: Always work with DCM in a well-ventilated space or use a properly functioning fume hood. Adequate ventilation helps to minimize inhalation exposure to the chemical.
- Wear Protective Clothing: When handling DCM, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, a lab coat or apron, and closed-toe shoes. Consider wearing a face shield for additional protection.
- Avoid Skin Contact: Prevent skin contact with DCM by wearing gloves and other protective clothing. If DCM comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.
- Prevent Eye Contact: Protect your eyes from DCM by wearing safety goggles or a face shield. In case of accidental eye exposure, rinse your eyes thoroughly with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
- No Smoking or Open Flames: DCM is highly flammable, so smoking and open flames should be prohibited in areas where it is used or stored.
- Store Properly: Store DCM in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials, such as strong oxidizers. Keep containers tightly closed and labeled with appropriate hazard warnings.
- Use in a Controlled Manner: Limit exposure to DCM by using it in a controlled manner, and avoid unnecessary handling. Use only the amount required for your specific task.
- Avoid Ingestion: Do not eat, drink, or smoke when working with DCM, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling the chemical.
- Emergency Equipment: Ensure that emergency equipment, such as eyewash stations and safety showers, is readily accessible in case of accidents or exposure.
- Training and Education: Personnel working with DCM should receive proper training on its safe handling, including recognizing the signs of overexposure and knowing how to respond to spills or accidents.

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 50 kg
Fully refined paraffin wax is a type of wax that has undergone a refining process to remove impurities and unwanted components. It is a white, odorless, and tasteless wax that is solid at room temperature and has a relatively low melting point.
The refining process involves several steps, including solvent extraction, deoiling, and bleaching. Solvent extraction involves dissolving the crude wax in a solvent, which separates the wax from other components such as oil and grease. Deoiling involves removing any remaining oil and grease from the wax through vacuum distillation. Bleaching involves removing any remaining color or odor from the wax through the use of chemical agents.
Fully refined paraffin wax is commonly used in a variety of applications, including candle making, coating materials, packaging, and cosmetics. Its properties, such as its low melting point and ability to retain fragrance and color, make it a popular choice in these industries
