Finding OTC DCM in UK

Housane - 16-5-2019 at 23:10

Hi

Just wondering if anyone in the UK has any idea of easy sources for DCM preferably on high street bout online if not possible.

EDIT: Just a note to say it has been removed from all paint strippers I can find on the shelves

Thanks

Housane

Look on eBay UK under Lab Chemicals, that's where I get mine, the cost is high for 1 or 2 litres but not so bad if you get 5+, and that lasts an awful long time if you recycle.

I don't think you'll find any consumer products containing DCM (ie paint strippers with DCM are banned for safety reasons).

I have seen DCM on eBay. I've also bought it in the past from APC Pure.

But nowadays, I get all of my solvents from Rathburn - they are both very cheap and very high quality. I think I paid £9.50 or so (excluding shipping of flat £14 per palette and 20% VAT) for 2.5L of HPLC grade DCM, in a glass GL45 bottle.

EDIT: How do I order from Rathburn?

You need to email them or call. Ask for a price list.
