Physical Properties: Dichloromethane is a colorless, transparent, water heavy, and volatile liquid with an ether like odor and sweetness. It does not burn, but when mixed with high concentrations of oxygen, it forms an explosive mixture; Slightly soluble in water, miscible with the vast majority of commonly used organic solvents, and can also be mixed in any proportion with other chlorinated solvents, ether, ethanol, and N, N-dimethylformamide. | |||
Applications: Dichloromethane is used as a solvent, extractant, mutagen, and refrigerant; Used in the electronics industry, commonly used as a cleaning and degreasing agent; Used as a local anesthetic for dentistry; Cleaning and degreasing agents for metal surface paint layers; Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. |
