Methylene Chloride
Methylene chloride, also known as dichloromethane (DCM), is a colourless, volatile liquid with a mild, sweet odour. Its chemical formula is CH₂Cl₂, and it is widely used as an industrial solvent due to its strong ability to dissolve a wide range of materials.
Methylene chloride is commonly found in paint strippers, degreasers, adhesives, aerosol formulations, pharmaceutical processing, metal cleaning operations, and foam manufacturing.
Exposure to high concentrations of vapour can affect the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, confusion, and irritation of the eyes and respiratory system. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to more severe health effects.
Rockall Safety supplies detection solutions for methylene chloride, including the Dräger Detection Tubes (Methylene Chloride 20/A). These colourimetric gas detection tubes are specifically designed to measure methylene chloride vapour concentrations in air when used with a Accuro Dräger hand pump.
