PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H6O3. It is a colorless and odorless liquid that is soluble in water and most organic solvents. DMC is widely used as a solvent in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, and electronics. It is also used as a reactant in the production of polycarbonates, methyl isocyanate, and other chemicals. DMC is considered to be a safer alternative to other solvents, such as methylene chloride and perchloroethylene, because it has a lower toxicity and does not have the same negative impact on the environment.
