Aerothene MM Dichloromethane 75-09-2 Dow Chemical Solvents >> Chlorinated ADHESIVE Methylene Chloride, also known as dichloromethane and methylene dichloride, is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a mild ethereal odor that is completely miscible with a variety of solvents. Methylene chloride is nonflammable, having no flash point as determined by standard test methods. Unlike 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride does not deplete stratospheric ozone. And when handled properly, methylene chloride poses no danger to health or the environment Coatings and adhesives sometimes require the dissolving power of chlorinated solvents to solubilize the wide variety of thermoplastic ingredients. Methylene chloride and trichloroethylene feature the rapid drying rates and low flammability that make them ideal for use in rubber cements, styrenics, polymethyl methacrylate and epoxies. Adhesive Stripping. Specially inhibited, this solvent is widely used in adhesive stripping formulations. Methylene Chloride. Clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a mild ethereal odor. Solubilises the thermoplastic ingredients in adhesives. Used in adhesive stripping formulations.
