DMC Powder

Brief Intro

DMC Powder refers to Dimethyl Carbonate, a versatile organic compound widely used as a green reagent and solvent in chemical synthesis. It is a colorless, flammable liquid classified as a carbonate ester with the formula OC(OCH3)2. DMC is valued for its low toxicity, biodegradability, and eco-friendly profile, often serving as an alternative to more hazardous methylating agents and volatile organic compounds. It finds applications in methylation reactions, as a co-solvent in lithium-ion batteries, and increasingly in pharmaceutical and industrial research. This product is intended strictly for scientific research and analytical purposes and is not for human consumption.
