What is DSC?
DSC stands for Differential Scanning Calorimetry, which is not a chemical but a thermal analysis technique.
Purpose: Used in laboratories to measure how a material's heat capacity changes with temperature.
Applications:
- Polymers & plastics: Checking melting point, crystallization, and thermal stability.
- Pharmaceuticals: Studying drug purity and compatibility.
- Chemicals & materials: Testing curing reactions in resins and adhesives.
What is DCE?
DCE usually refers to 1,2-dichloroethane (also known as ethylene dichloride, CAS 107-06-2).
Type: A volatile, colorless industrial solvent and chemical intermediate.
Ethylene Dichloride Uses:
- Production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) .
- Solvent for oils, waxes, resins, rubber.
- Intermediate for chlorinated solvents and ethyleneamines.
- Extraction agent in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
