Dichloromethane Uses

Dichloromethane’s volatility and solubility in a wide range of products make it a popular ingredient in many industrial processes. Common uses include:
  • Paint stripper
  • Degreaser
  • Used in the process to decaffeinate coffee and tea
  • Used in the process to prepare extracts of hops and other flavourings
  • Aerosol spray propellant
  • Blowing agent in the manufacture of polyurethane foams
  • Plastic welding adhesive
  • Jukebox displays
  • Decorative lights
  • Printing textiles
  • Used to test bituminous materials to separate the aggregate from the binder, allowing for further testing of these materials

Natural Occurrences

Dichloromethane can be found in nature, from volcanoes and wetlands, to algae and the ocean. Despite this ubiquitous presence, the vast majority of all dichloromethane is the result of industrial synthesis. 

Methods of Synthesis

Dichloromethane can be synthesised by the reaction between chlorine gas and methane or chloromethane at high temperatures. At 500 degree Celsius, methane can be increasingly chlorinated in a series of reactions to produce chloromethane (CH3Cl), Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) chloroform (CHCl3) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Once this process is completed, individual compounds can be separated by distillation.CH4 Cl2 → CH3Cl HClCH3Cl Cl2 → CH2Cl2 HClCH2Cl2 Cl2 → CHCl3 HClCHCl3 Cl2 → CCl4 HCl
