Why use methylene chloride ?
Methylene chloride (di-chlorine methan) is a superlative cleaning medium with a high efficiency and following advandages: • low operating temperature • better cleaning effect as per-chlorine ethylene and tri-chlorine ethylene • removes adherent contaminations as well Methylene chloride serves as a solvent for grease, oil, mineral oil, wax, resin, celluloid ester etc. Methylene chloride disappeared from the field of vision of some users due to the introduction of the 2.BImS (= German emission regulations). It is still approved as a cleaning medium, as well as a propellant component for sprays and cosmetic products. Following characteristics effect the advantages of methylene chloride: • faster evaporization than other solvents (boiling point only 42°C) • methylene chloride doesn’t destroy the ozone layer. Low rate of formation of smog, climate warming and acid rain. • Methylenchlorid wird in der Umwelt biologisch abgebaut. Due to high volatility methylene chloride requires a high grade
