Methylene Chloride (CH₂Cl₂), also known as Dichloromethane, is a volatile, colorless liquid widely used in the paint, inks, and coatings industry as a powerful solvent. Known for its fast evaporation rate and excellent solvency, it is highly effective in paint stripping, resin removal, and degreasing applications. Methylene Chloride is valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of polymers and resins, though it must be handled with care due to its toxicity and volatility.
