DMC Product Description

【Product Introduction】

Dimethyl carbonate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H6O3. It is a colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature with a slight aroma. Dimethyl carbonate is mainly produced through processes such as transesterification and methanol oxidation carbonylation. It uses methanol, ethylene oxide (propylene) and carbon dioxide as raw materials and is synthesized under the action of a catalyst.

【Product Features】

Excellent Environmental Protection Characteristics

Dimethyl carbonate is a green and environmentally friendly solvent with no halogen atoms in its molecules. It does not release harmful substances such as halogenated hydrocarbons when used.

Good Solubility

Dimethyl carbonate can be miscible with common organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, etc. in any proportion, and can also dissolve poorly soluble polymer resins.
