Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂, CAS 75-09-2) is a versatile solvent widely used in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for its ability to dissolve a broad range of analytes while minimizing background interference. It’s also employed in extraction, cleaning, and analytical applications where high purity is critical. More broadly, dichloromethane serves as a paint stripper, a metal degreasing solvent and a blowing agent for polyurethane foam. This HPLC-grade dichloromethane meets stringent purity standards for chromatographic use, with a molecular weight of 84.93 g/mol. Store at ambient conditions under proper ventilation; the product carries a "Warning" signal word due to its hazardous nature.
