Is methylene chloride the same as dichloromethane?

2025 10/22

Dichloromethane (DCM, methylene chloride) is an organochlorine compound with the formula CH2Cl2.  It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor similar to ether. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether, it is a non-flammable low-boiling solvent under normal conditions of use. When its vapor becomes a high concentration in high-temperature air, dichloromethane will generate a weakly combustible mixed gas, which is often used instead of flammable Petroleum ether, ether.
