Dichloromethane

Dichloromethane (DCM), also known as methylene chloride, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that exists as a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is widely used as a solvent due to its ability to dissolve a variety of organic compounds and its relatively low boiling point, which allows for easy removal. Its major applications include paint stripping, degreasing, and as a process solvent in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. It was also historically used as a decaffeinating agent for coffee and tea. Despite its utility, DCM poses health risks; it is classified as a potential carcinogen, and acute inhalation can lead to nervous system damage.
