METHYL DICHLORIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl dichloride is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula CH₂Cl₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a solvent in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks, and as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Methyl dichloride is also used in the formulation of cleaning agents and paint strippers. Despite its utility, methyl dichloride is highly toxic and poses significant health risks if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
