Dow Chlorinated Organics are commonly used in all phases of production for many types of pharmaceutical products around the world. These applications include:
- Synthesis – as a feedstock, medium or extraction solvent
- Fermentation (Purification) – as an extraction solvent
- Formulation (Tablet Coating) – as a solvent for polymer coating
Methylene Chloride's inherent stability, ease of separation, low energy consumption, high solvency and relative inertness to chemical reactivity combine to give it a distinct advantage over hydrocarbon solvents for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals.
