The adjustment allowed laboratories more time to adopt required safety measures as part of the national phase-down of methylene chloride, a solvent increasingly scrutinized for worker-exposure.
- September 2024: A toxicology assessment by Indian researchers reported that dichloromethane or methylene dichloride exposure can cause significant health hazards, including cardiac stress and organ damage when vapors are inhaled at elevated temperatures. The study emphasized the need for stricter workplace controls and improved ventilation practices to reduce risks associated with methylene dichloride use in industrial environments.
Product Description
Methylene dichloride is a colorless solvent with a characteristic sweet chloroform like aroma. It is a volatile liquid that is polar and miscible with various organic solvents. It is primarily employed in the production of adhesives and spray paints.
It is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent during the synthesis of drugs and is favored for its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds due to its low boiling point. It solves a solvent in the manufacturing of various chemicals and is particularly useful in the formulation of fine chemicals and organic compounds. It is often employed in the food and beverage (F&B) industry in the extraction of caffeine from coffee beans and tea leaves and the manufacture of decaffeinated beverages. The formulation of films and quoting is particularly used in applications where fast drying and film forming properties are needed.
