Product Usage and package
It is a perfect methylating agent, carbonylating agent, methyoxylating agent and methylolating agent with active chemical properties. It can be used into produce polyproptlene carbonate. In pharmaceutical and pesticide. Dimethyl Carbonate can be used into produce ciprofloxacin and carbadox. Also it is an indispensable raw material to produce lithium battery electrolyte.
Because of its excellent chemical and environmental property, recently DMC is acting as a good solvent for coating, paints, ink and adhesive substituting the benzene, xylene, ethyl Acetate, butyl Acetate, acetone, butanone, Toluene. It is an ideal substitute for toxic substances such as phosgene, dimethyl sulphate, and methyl chloraformate, Thus, it is a green chemical product
