Methylene Chloride (CH3CL)

Methylene Chloride (CH3CL)

Methylene chloride, also known as dichloromethane (DCM), is a colorless, volatile liquid with a slightly sweet odor. Its chemical formula is CH2Cl2, not CH3Cl, as you mentioned.

Methylene chloride is widely used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint stripping, degreasing, and as a solvent in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and chemicals. It is also used as a blowing agent in the production of foam plastics and as an extraction solvent in the food industry.

The HSN (Harmonized System Nomenclature) code for methylene chloride in India would fall under Chapter 29 of the Customs Tariff, which covers organic chemicals. However, for the specific HSN code for methylene chloride, it’s recommended to refer to the latest version of the Indian Customs Tariff or consult with Indian customs authorities.
