Description

Dimethyl Carbonate - 55 Gallon Drum

This product can serve as a reagent and solvent that is not only non-toxic and biodegradable with tunable chemical reactivity but also is exempt from the restrictions placed on most VOCs in the US. Dimethyl Carbonate is virtually a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant order and can be used as an eco-friendly alternative to dimethyl sulfate (or methyl halides) and phosgene for methylation and carboxylation reactions.

Dimethyl Carbonate Benefits

Clear, colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor
Versatile, non-toxic, and biodegradable
Exempt from the restrictions placed on most VOCs in the U.S.
Low evaporation rate
Low density
Freeze-thaw stability
Low maximum incremental reactivity

Dimethyl Carbonate Applications

Use Dimethyl Carbonate for:

Paint and coatings as a carrier solvent or dispersing medium for binders, pigments, and colorants.
Household, industrial, and institutional as a rapid biodegradability and low toxicity for most degreasing applications.
Inks as a toluene and ethyl acetate replacement in Gravure ink applications.
for Aerosols as lower VOC content due to low MIR value.
for Resin Manufacturing as an alternative to alkylating agents used in a variety of synthetic and industrial applications.
