Methylene Dichloride, also known as Dichloromethane is an organic compound that is available naturally in Oceans, Volcanoes, Wetlands, and in Microalgae. The chemical reaction that produces Methylene Dichloride occurs between Chloromethane and Chlorine Gas or Methane with Chlorine gas at temperatures ranging between 400-500C. These chemical reactions result in a mixture of products consisting of Chloromethane, Dichloromethane, Chloroform, and Carbon Tetrachloride. The resultant mixture is distilled to separate the different compounds and Methylene Dichloride is obtained. Methylene Dichloride is colourless in appearance and has a sweet fragrance. It can dissolve perfectly in different organic compounds which is why it has a wide range of industrial applications as a chemical solvent.
