Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane / DCM) Supplier in India
Methylene chloride — also known as dichloromethane, DCM or MDC — is a colourless, volatile chlorinated solvent (CH₂Cl₂) valued for its strong solvency and rapid evaporation. It is widely used in pharmaceutical processing, paint stripping, degreasing, extraction and polymer manufacturing. As a chlorinated solvent, it is a hazardous material handled under strict SDS and workplace controls.
VSVK Group is a Kanpur-based importer, distributor and supplier of industrial chemicals, operating since 1982. With 20,000 sq. ft. of warehousing and an own delivery fleet, VSVK supports bulk, requirement-based DCM supply with reliable coordination from enquiry to dispatch. Grade and specifications are confirmed against each buyer’s requirement.
