CH3OCH3 Dimethyl Liquid DME Chemical Intermediate In Bulk

Product Specification

Methoxymethane product introduction

Product description

Dimethyl Methoxymethane (molecular formula: C2H6O, indicative formula: CH3OCH3, DME), also known as methyl ethre and methoxymethane, is the simplest aliphatic ethre. It is a derivative of the dehydration condensation of two molecules of methanol. At room temperature, it is a colorless, non-toxic gas or compressed liquid with a slight ethre aroma. It is an important organic chemical product and chemical intermediate.

Specification Parameters 

Characteristics

· Efficient and Clean: DME has high energy density and low pollution emissions, with no residue or black smoke during combustion.

· Good Solubility: It is miscible with most organic solvents, facilitating use in various chemical reactions.

· Stable Chemical Properties: It is resistant to reaction with acids and bases but can undergo combustion and oxidation reactions at high temperatures or in the presence of catalysts.

Characteristics  

Methoxymethane has excellent combustion characteristics, high cetane number, less pollution, no damage to the atmospheric ozone layer, and is easily degraded in the troposphere. It can be widely used in automobile fuel.

Methoxymethane can be used as a propellant, foaming agent, solvent, extractant, etc. for aerosols. High concentrations of DME can be used as an anesthetic.

It is also used in refrigerants as a substitute for Freon.
