FAQs
Main industrial use of dimethyl carbonate is lithium ion battery electrolyte ( electrolyte of lithium－ion cell), coating industry, the pharmaceutical, pesticide industry, pesticide, agricultural chemicals industry or the clean methylating intermediate product which is used in synthetic processes of the organic chemical compounds.
Yes, in most regions DMC, or dimethyl carbonate, falls into the VOC- exempt solvent category owing to it’s low photo-chemical reactivity. It is very well suited to formulations conforming to green requirements.
In tightly closed container in a cool, dry, ventilated area, protected from direct sunshine, heat, sources of ignition and oxidising agents.
Yes, since it is a non toxic compound, DMC is also a carbonyl and methylation reagent and it is non toxic and it also carries no risk for users than other dangerous compoundphosgene and dimethyl sulphate.
