oil, or similar substances used as lubricants or temporary protective coatings during metal fabrication. It is used extensively for this purpose, both for cold (room temperature) cleaning and vapor degreasing of metal parts.It is also use as paint removal. Methylene chloride is the active ingredient in many formulations of paint removers including industrial paint and commercial furniture strippers, home paint removers, and products used for aircraft maintenance. The chemical has a unique ability to penetrate, blister, and lift a wide variety of paint coatings. Formulations of the chemical are used extensively in both flow-over and immersion (dip) tanks in furniture refinishing operations. For the maintenance of military and commercial aircraft, a methylene chloride based product has commonly been used to inspect the surface for damage. Edited by findstone - 04 Jan 2010 at 11:23am
