Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows where I should store dichloromethane? I have safe handling and disposal details, but for storage all I can find, is in glass and kept away from light? So should I just put in on the "Toxic" shelf??
Cheers MariaQ
Storage of Dichloromethane
Re: Storage of Dichloromethane
When I worked in a school that had this chemical I stored it in its own lidded container of absorbent material in the locked toxic chemical storage cupboard.

Re: Storage of Dichloromethane
Does anyone actually use this chemical? If you have something that isn't being used and, from what Linotas describes, it is quite toxic, I would consider disposing of it.

We use it in the prac where the students work out the empirical formula of tin iodide that they have created.
