Dichloromethane (DCM) also known as methylene chloride is manufactured by reacting methane or methyl chloride with chlorine gas in a distillation process. Methylene chloride is a colorless, volatile liquid with a slight sweet odor. The major application of methylene chloride is as a solvent in various end-user industries such as paints & coatings, pharmaceuticals, textiles, adhesives & sealants and aerosols among others. Methylene chloride is used in paint stripper and degreasers.
It is also used in beverage industry to decaffeinate tea and coffee. In addition, methylene chloride finds applications in polyurethane foams as a blowing agent and metal cleaning applications. Moreover, methylene chloride is used in manufacturing of hydrofluorocarbons such as HFC-32. The market for dichloromethane was mainly driven by high demand from paints & coatings market. Dichloromethane is used as solvent in paints & coatings and huge demand from paints and coatings industry is driving the market in past few years.
Other industries such as adhesives & sealants, textiles and pharmaceutical are expected to exhibit steady demand for dichloromethane in the coming years. Increasing demand from fluorocarbons is likely to provide bigger opportunities for the dichloromethane market in next coming years. Increasing demand for HFC-32 from end-user industries is likely to offer more demand for dichloromethane in years to come. However, stringent government regulations faced by methylene chloride industry due to being considered as potential carcinogenic chemical is anticipated to hider the growth of the market in next coming years.
