Dichloropropane (DCP)

CAS Number: 78-87-5, Purity min. 99%

Clear, colorless liquid with no mechanical impurities with a characteristic odor. DCP is obtained in the production of propylene oxide, then distilled for several times. The improvement of the production process enabled us to reach the highest purity of DCP.

DCP can easily replace organic solvents such as toluene, acetone, benzene or other xylene derivatives. Unlike mentioned products, technical dichloropropane has a stable, fixed price.

Main benefits of using Dichloropropane:

  • Fixed, reasonable price
  • Great alternative for Acetone
  • Great alternative for Xylen
  • Great alternative for Benzene
  • Great alternative for Toluene

Dichloropropane is a highly effective solvent for resins, greases, lubricants, tars and asphalts. In addition, it is well known as a base component in the remover of varnished coatings drying at ambient temperature, as well as stove enamels. In addition to the above-average dissolution properties, DCP is used as a degreaser and metal surface cleaner. Its degreasing effect is also used in the leather tanning process. Due to its chemical properties, it is successfully used in the production of paints and varnishes as well as in printing inks. Many of the world's refiners also use this product to remove lead from gasoline. In many countries it is still used as a component of fumigants, e.g. D-D and Telone II (fumigator) and insecticides, including the ones designated for peach trees and grasses, and domestic cattle parasites (mainly outside the European Union). In the same markets, DCP is also a product used in the application to combat fungi and molds.
