Dichloromethane (DCM) – CH₂Cl₂ – 99% Pure Solvent – CAS 75-09-2

Dichloromethane (also known as Methylene Chloride, CH₂Cl₂), CAS 75-09-2, is a high-purity, colorless liquid solvent widely used in chemical extraction, paint stripping, cleaning, and synthetic chemistry. Known for its strong solvency and volatility, DCM is especially valuable in pharmaceutical and industrial processes where fast evaporation and non-flammable properties are critical.
