Dimethyl Ether

Dimethyl Ether CAS 115-10-6

Sinochem is a major Dimethyl ether supplier. Meanwhile, our firm staffs a group of experts devoted to your development of China Dimethyl ether.

  • Environmentally Friendly: DME produces only water and carbon dioxide when combusted, with no sulfur oxide or nitrogen oxide emissions, making it an environmentally friendly fuel.
  • High Energy Density: DME offers higher energy density than traditional LPG, providing more efficient combustion and performance.
  • Low-Temperature Liquefaction: DME can be easily liquefied at relatively low temperatures, making it convenient for storage and transportation.

Dimethyl ether Description

Name: Dimethyl ether (DME)

Synonyms: methoxymethane / Methyl ether / Oxydimethane / Wood ether / Dimethyl oxide / Methyl oxide / Dymel A

Molecular Formula: CH3OCH3

Molecular Weight: 46.07

CAS NO.: 115-10-6

Density: 0.7±0.1 g/cm3

Boiling point: -29.5±3.0 °C at 760 mmHg

Melting point: −141 °C(lit.)

Flashing point: -85.9±5.7 °C

Appearance: Colorless gas with ethers characteristic odor.

Water Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, ether.

Properties: Colorless, easily liquefied gas, with a slightly bright flame when burning. Soluble in water, gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, chlorobenzene, acetone and methyl acetate, DME is a low-temperature solvent and extraction agent.

Storage: For the safe storage of flammable gases, adhere to these critical guidelines: Maintain a cool, well-ventilated environment, far removed from ignition sources and heat. Ensure reservoir temperatures remain below 30°C. Isolate from incompatible materials like oxidants, acids, and halogens. Employ explosion-proof lighting and ventilation. Utilize non-sparking tools and equipment. Equip the storage area with comprehensive spill response materials.

Safety Protection: The anesthetic effect is weaker than ether. Contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Operators should wear masks and rubber gloves.

About Us: With over many years as a certified Dimethyl ether manufacturer, we combine innovation with stringent production standards to deliver high-performance product.

Methoxymethane Applications

  1. Mainly used as raw materials for organic synthesis, but also used as solvents, aerosols, refrigerants and anesthetics
  2. Dimethyl ether is mainly used as a methylating agent to produce dimethyl sulfate, and can also synthesize N, n-dimethylaniline, methyl acetate, acetic anhydride, ethylene dimethyl ester and ethylene.
  3. It can also be used as refrigerant, blowing agent, solvent, leaching agent, extraction agent, anesthetic, fuel, civilian composite ethanol and freon aerosol substitute. Used in hair care, skin care, medicines and coatings, as various aerosol propellants.
  4. The fuel additives promoted abroad have many unique uses in pharmaceutical, dye and pesticide industries.
We offer competitive Dimethyl ether price, and exclusive discounts for large quantities, helping you effectively reduce procurement costs.
