Product Overview
Methylene Chloride (DCM, dichloromethane) is a fast-evaporating, non-flammable solvent with powerful solvency for a wide range of polymers, resins, adhesives and coatings. It is the active agent in most paint strippers and also finds extensive application as a reaction solvent and extraction medium in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Few solvents match methylene chloride when it comes to stripping power and selectivity. It dissolves resins, coatings, adhesives and polymers that other solvents simply can’t touch – making it essential for paint removal, chemical processing and pharmaceutical synthesis.
ISL Chemicals stocks technical grade methylene chloride for industrial buyers and stabilised grades for pharmaceutical and laboratory applications. Both are quality-checked before dispatch.
