Methylene chloride (dichloromethane, DCM) is a versatile solvent: a clear, colourless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like odour and a high dissolving power for many organic compounds.
Also written as CH₂Cl₂. Chemifin imports methylene chloride from Korea and China on a regular schedule for foam, paint and other industrial users across Indonesia.
