FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about Dow Methylene Chloride, grades, safety and shipping.

What is the difference between methylene chloride and dichloromethane?

They are the same compound (CH₂Cl₂, CAS 75-09-2). Dichloromethane is the IUPAC name; methylene chloride and DCM are common synonyms.

What purity grades are available?

Typical technical and higher-purity grades are available; the exact grade and specification are confirmed against the CoA for each lot.

Is DCM flammable?

DCM has no flash point and is classified as non-flammable under standard test conditions. It is, however, toxic (GHS suspected carcinogen, Category 2) and must be handled with ventilation and appropriate PPE per the SDS.

What documentation is provided?

Every shipment includes an SDS and a Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Additional documentation can be arranged on request.

How is it shipped internationally?

As a Class 6.1 toxic liquid (UN 1593, PG III) with GHS labeling, compliant with ADR / IMDG / IATA. We arrange export from major ports.

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ depends on packaging and destination. Please contact our sales team for the current minimum and lead time.
