Product: Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC, CH₃OCOOCH₃)

CAS No.: 616-38-6
Hazard Class: 3 (Flammable Liquid)
UN No.: 1161
Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid

Description: Dimethyl carbonate is produced through methanol oxidative carbonylation or ester exchange process, serving as an environmentally friendly solvent and chemical intermediate. With its unique combination of low toxicity (LD50 >5,000mg/kg) and high oxygen content (53.3%), it is widely used in lithium-ion battery electrolytes (grade >99.99%), polycarbonate production (phosgene alternative), and coatings/paints as a green solvent. The compound decomposes into CO₂ and methanol under mild conditions.
