Dimethyl Carbonate (CAS No.: 616-38-6, commonly abbreviated as DMC) is a simple organic carbonate ester, hailed as a model green chemical for the 21st century. It features excellent solvency, high oxygen content (53%), low toxicity, and good biodegradability. In the new energy sector, DMC is a key solvent component in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, crucial for battery performance and safety. In materials, it replaces the traditional phosgene route via transesterification to produce environmentally friendly polycarbonate (PC) resins. In fuels, it serves as an oxygenated additive for gasoline, improving combustion and reducing emissions. In organic synthesis, DMC acts as a safe methylating and carbonylation agent, widely used in synthesizing intermediates for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes, replacing highly toxic phosgene and dimethyl sulfate. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced using advanced and environmentally friendly processes such as transesterification or oxidative carbonylation, achieving a purity of ≥99.5% with extremely low levels of impurities like moisture and methanol, and good electrochemical stability. Its quality meets the stringent requirements for lithium batteries, high-end engineering plastics, and fine chemical synthesis. |
