Dimethyl carbonate

Dimethyl Carbonate /DMC, CAS NO.: 616-38-6 It is acting as a good solvent for coating, paints, ink and adhesive substituting the benzene, xylene, ethyl Acetate, butyl Acetate, acetone, butanone, Toluene.

Under normal temperature, it is a colorless, transparent liquid with a molecular weight of 90.08.It has a melting point of 4oC and a boiling point of 90.3oCIts index of refraction (nd20), viscosity and latent heat of vaporization are respectively 1.3697,0.664mpa.s and 8382KJ/Kmol.

At any proporion, it can be mixed with such organic solvents as alcohol, ketone, ester, etc., but it is slightly soluble in water. Application: It is a perfect methylating agent, carbonylating agent, with active chemical properties. It can be used into produce polypropylene carbonate.

In pharmaceutical and pesticide, DMC can be used into produce ciprofloxacin and carbadox. Also it is a indispensable raw material to produce lithium battery electrolyte.

Because of its excellent chemical and environmental property, recently DMC is acting as a good solvent for coating, paints, ink and adhesive substituting the benzene, xylene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, acetone, butanone, toluene. It is an ideal substitute for toxic substances such as phosgene, dimethyl sulphate, etc. In a word, it is green chemical.
