What Is Methylene Chloride?

Methylene chloride is the common name for dichloromethane, often abbreviated as DCM.

It is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula CH₂Cl₂ and CAS number 75-09-2. Its molecular weight is approximately 84.93 g/mol.

You may see the chemical listed under several different names:

• Methylene chloride
• Dichloromethane
• DCM
• Methylene dichloride
• CH₂Cl₂
• CAS 75-09-2

These names refer to the same chemical substance.

What Is Methylene Chloride Used For?

Methylene chloride is primarily known as a solvent.

EPA identifies applications involving chemical processing, laboratory chemicals, plastic and rubber manufacturing, solvent welding and other specialized uses.

Potential professional applications include:

Laboratory Applications

DCM is used as a laboratory chemical in certain professional research and analytical processes.

EPA’s current U.S. framework specifically includes laboratory chemical use among the uses that can continue under the Workplace Chemical Protection Program.

Chemical Processing

Methylene chloride can be used in certain chemical manufacturing and processing operations.

Plastic and Rubber Manufacturing

Certain plastic and rubber manufacturing processes use DCM, including polycarbonate production. EPA identifies these among uses that can continue subject to workplace protections.

Solvent Welding

DCM is also associated with solvent-welding applications involving compatible plastic materials. This use is subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

Specialized Industrial Processing

Methylene chloride has historically been used in various industrial solvent applications, including metal cleaning and chemical processing.

Methylene Chloride CAS Number

The CAS number for methylene chloride is:

75-09-2

Other important identifiers include:

Chemical name: Dichloromethane
Common name: Methylene chloride
Formula: CH₂Cl₂
Molecular weight: 84.93 g/mol
EC number: 200-838-9

When purchasing chemicals online, these identifiers help ensure that the correct chemical is being discussed.

Methylene Chloride vs Dichloromethane

Methylene chloride and dichloromethane are the same chemical.

“Methylene chloride” is a commonly used commercial name, while “dichloromethane” is the chemical name.

Therefore:

Methylene chloride = Dichloromethane = DCM

All refer to CH₂Cl₂.

Why Is Methylene Chloride Used as a Solvent?

Methylene chloride has solvent properties that have made it useful in chemical and industrial processes.

It is a volatile organic solvent capable of dissolving a range of organic materials. This makes it useful in certain controlled manufacturing, laboratory and processing applications.

Its use today, however, needs to be considered alongside current regulatory restrictions and workplace requirements.

Professional Methylene Chloride Supply

When sourcing methylene chloride, professional customers should look beyond simply finding a product listing.

A responsible chemical purchasing process should include confirmation of:

Chemical Identity

Confirm that the material is dichloromethane/methylene chloride, CAS 75-09-2.

Product Specification

Review the specification applicable to the material being supplied.

SDS

Obtain and review the current Safety Data Sheet before purchase and use.

COA

Where applicable, request a Certificate of Analysis for the relevant batch.

Regulatory Status

Confirm that the intended use is permitted in the destination jurisdiction.

Quantity

Choose the quantity appropriate for the legitimate professional requirement:

• 5L
• 10L
• 25L
• 50L
• 100L

Methylene Chloride Safety

Methylene chloride is not an ordinary household solvent.

EPA’s risk evaluation determined that methylene chloride presents an unreasonable risk to human health under the conditions of use evaluated, and its current U.S. risk-management rule establishes prohibitions and workplace protections.

Professional users should therefore:

• Review the SDS before use.
• Follow applicable workplace requirements.
• Use appropriate engineering controls.
• Prevent unnecessary exposure.
• Follow the supplier’s storage instructions.
• Maintain appropriate workplace documentation.
• Ensure the intended use is legally permitted.

This is particularly important for customers ordering larger quantities such as 50L or 100L.

Important Regulatory Information

United States

EPA finalized its methylene chloride risk-management rule in April 2024.

The rule:

• Prohibits manufacturing, processing and distribution for consumer uses.
• Prohibits most industrial and commercial uses.
• Establishes a Workplace Chemical Protection Program for specified continuing uses.
• Requires manufacturers, processors and distributors to provide required notifications and maintain records.

Specified continuing uses include laboratory chemical use, certain chemical manufacturing, plastic and rubber manufacturing, solvent welding and certain processing applications, subject to the required workplace protections.

European Union

Dichloromethane is also subject to restrictions under REACH Annex XVII, Entry 59, particularly concerning paint strippers containing DCM.

Therefore, a product being listed online does not mean every potential use is permitted.

Customers should verify the rules applicable to their location and intended application.
