Dimethyl Carbonate

Part One: The description  of  Dimethyl carbonate (DMC)

Colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor. Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Which also called DMC, Methyl Carbonate, Methyl Carbonate, Dimetyl Carbonate, Dimethyl Carbonate.CAS No.616-38-6, EINECS:210-478-4 Chemical Formula:C3H6O3

Part Two The Usage of Dimethyl carbonate (DMC)

1. Paint, coating and adhesive industry

Due to its excellent solubility, narrow melting and boiling point ranges, large surface tension, low viscosity, and small dielectric constant, dimethyl carbonate can replace toxic toluene and xylene products and is widely used in high-end paints, coatings, adhesives, etc. Glue and other industries.

2. Polycarbonate industry

Dimethyl carbonate is widely used in various organic reactions and gradually replaces phosgene in the production of polycarbonate and isocyanate, which have a large market gap. Polycarbonate is a common daily material with outstanding impact resistance. It is the only product with good transparency among the five major engineering plastics. It is also the fastest growing general engineering plastic in recent years. It is currently widely used in automobiles, electronics and electrical, construction, office equipment, packaging, sports equipment, medical care and other fields. With the continuous deepening of modification research, it is rapidly expanding into high-tech fields such as aerospace, computers, optical discs and so on.

3. Lithium-ion battery electrolyte

With the continuous implementation of the national new energy industry plan, the electric mopeds and electric cars market, under the guidance of the national new energy strategy, Dimethyl carbonate is becoming one of the industries with the most market prospects in my country in the future. Correspondingly, the output and demand of the lithium battery industry have also increased. Faster growth. As one of the main raw materials for battery electrolyte, carbonate products will have rapid growth in demand in the field of lithium batteries.

4. Oil additives

Due to its high oxygen content (oxygen content 53%, three times that of MTBE) and appropriate vapor pressure, water resistance and mixing distribution coefficient, Dimethyl carbonate can be used as an ideal gasoline/diesel additive to promote combustion and increase octane. value, reduce carbon emissions, and at the same time improve the anti-knock performance of gasoline/diesel.

5. Pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical industry is currently an important consumption area for dimethyl carbonate in my country. In medicine, dimethyl carbonate is mainly used as a methylating agent to replace highly toxic dimethyl sulfate, and is used to synthesize anti-infective drugs, antipyretics and analgesics. medicines, vitamins, and central nervous system medications.

6. Pesticides

my country is a major producer of pesticides. As the pace of structural adjustment of my country's pesticide industry accelerates, the country's requirements for pesticide safety will become increasingly strict. Traditional highly toxic pesticides will gradually be replaced by non-toxic and low-toxic pesticide products. Therefore, as a green The application of environmentally friendly intermediate dimethyl carbonate products in the field of pesticide production will have broad development prospects.

7. ADC resin

Allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC) has excellent optical properties, wear resistance, bacterial resistance, and light weight. It is a thermosetting resin. It can replace glass and be used as spectacle lenses and optoelectronic materials. It was originally made from propylene alcohol, diethyl glycol and phosgene. Nowadays, the industry generally uses DMC to replace phosgene. Because DMC is low-toxic and non-corrosive, it reduces the technical requirements in equipment manufacturing, operation management and waste treatment. More importantly, high-quality products can be produced more easily. Therefore, new fields such as use as precision optoelectronic materials are being opened up.
