Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Dimethyl carbonate is a colorless and clear fluid at area temperature, which can be blended with natural solvents such as alcohols, ketones, and esters in any kind of percentage. It is slightly soluble in water, with a melting point of 4 ℃, a boiling point of 90.3 ℃, a flash point of 18 ℃, and a thickness of 1.069.
Dimethyl carbonate has drawn in fantastic focus recently as a result of its solid chemical residential or commercial properties and low poisoning. In 1992, it was registered as a “non-toxic chemical” in Europe and identified as a “eco-friendly chemical” worldwide. Dimethyl carbonate is primarily used for the synthesis of intermediates and solvents, with high-purity products being utilized as solvents for lithium battery electrolytes.
Characteristics of Dimethyl Carbonate
Dimethyl carbonate is a natural substance that can be regarded as the dimethyl ester of carbonic acid. It is a flammable clear fluid with a boiling point of 90 ° C, insoluble in water, and can be used as a methylation reagent. Contrasted to other methylation reagents such as iodomethane and dimethyl sulfate, dimethyl carbonate is less poisonous and can be biodegraded.

Product Packaging

Dimethyl carbonate is a crucial environment-friendly chemical with reduced poisoning, biodegradability, and ecological kindness. It has a vast array of applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, and various other areas.
In the solvent field, Dimethyl carbonate can replace standard harmful solvents such as benzene and toluene, and is utilized in industries such as coatings, adhesives, and cleansing agents.
Dimethyl carbonate’s exceptional solubility enables it to properly dissolve resins, oils, and polymer products, while meeting the development demands of contemporary environment-friendly chemistry because of its moderate volatility and recyclability.
In natural synthesis, Dimethyl carbonate, as a secure methylation reagent, gradually replaces very harmful dimethyl sulfate and halogenated methane, and is widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical and chemical intermediates such as prescription antibiotics, vitamins, pesticides, and so on. Its reaction by-products are only methanol and co2, with minimal effect on the environment.
In addition, Dimethyl carbonate can additionally be used as a carbonylation reagent for the synthesis of important chemical basic materials such as vinyl carbonate and polycarbonate, and as a vital part in lithium-ion battery electrolytes to improve battery performance and security.
In the field of energy, Dimethyl carbonate can be utilized as a gas additive to enhance the oxygen content of fuel, advertise full combustion, lower emissions of carbon monoxide gas and unburned hydrocarbons, and can also replace methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE) to prevent groundwater pollution troubles.
In the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, Dimethyl carbonate can be utilized as a drug delivery carrier or solvent in cosmetics to reduce irritation to the skin.
Furthermore, Dimethyl carbonate is made use of for cleaning up fluid crystals and semiconductors in the electronics sector, and as a modifier for polyurethane and epoxy resins in polymer materials, further expanding its application range.
