Dichloromethane, which is also known as methylene chloride, is a colourless liquid with a sweet and chloroform-like smell. This highly versatile chemical compound is used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications in the UK.
One of the primary uses of dichloromethane is as a solvent, which makes it useful in the production of adhesives, paint removers, and aerosols. It is also used as a degreaser and cleaner in the electronics, metalworking, and pharmaceutical industries.
Despite its usefulness, dichloromethane can be hazardous to health if not used correctly. Prolonged exposure to high levels of dichloromethane can cause dizziness, headaches, and in severe cases, coma and even death. Therefore, strict safety precautions must be taken when handling this chemical compound.
In the UK, the use and handling of dichloromethane are regulated by strict health and safety guidelines. Employers must provide their workers with appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure that all employees receive proper training on the safe handling of the chemical. The use of dichloromethane is also heavily monitored and regulated by government agencies to ensure that it is used safely and responsibly in industrial and consumer applications.
