Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane, DCM) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Dichloromethane
- DCM
- Methylene Dichloride
- CH2Cl2
Methylene chloride supplier for paint stripping, metal degreasing, pharmaceutical extraction and process cleaning in Malaysia. Also known as dichloromethane, DCM, methylene dichloride and CH2Cl2, it is a dense, volatile chlorinated solvent with strong solvency for many resins and soils.
Buyers usually choose a technical DCM grade for stripping and degreasing, or a tighter extraction grade where residual water and impurity limits matter. Pack format and documentation are confirmed with the quotation rather than assumed on the page.
Coating shops use dichloromethane in paint removers and equipment cleaning. Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical plants use suitable grades as an extraction medium. Electronics and metal-finishing lines use it where rapid evaporation after degreasing is required.
State the grade, any purity limit, volume and delivery location with your DCM enquiry. Availability and handling notes for the quoted lot are confirmed when the offer is prepared.

Common questions about methylene chloride
Are methylene chloride, dichloromethane and DCM the same product?
Yes. Methylene chloride, dichloromethane, methylene dichloride and DCM all name the same chlorinated solvent, formula CH2Cl2 and CAS 75-09-2. State the grade and specification in the enquiry, because technical and higher-purity offers differ in impurity and water control.
What is methylene chloride used for?
Buyers use it as an extraction and reaction solvent in pharmaceuticals, as the active solvent in paint and varnish strippers, for cold metal degreasing, as a foam blowing agent in plastics work, and as a general industrial process solvent. Describe the duty when enquiring so the grade can be matched.
Which methylene chloride grade should I request?
Technical or industrial grade suits degreasing, paint stripping and routine process dissolving. Higher-purity or extraction grade is usually preferred when the process needs tighter impurity or water control, for example selected pharmaceutical extraction. Send the target specification with the enquiry.
What specifications matter for dichloromethane (DCM)?
Buyers commonly confirm appearance, assay, water content and any impurity limits required by the process. Include the current specification, a sample requirement or the critical limits so the quoted grade can be checked against them.
Can documentation and packing be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List any required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
How do I get a methylene chloride price in Malaysia?
Send the grade or purity target, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention documentation needs and preferred packing so the quotation can address the complete requirement. Prices are given on enquiry with a stated validity period.
