Primary Applications of Ethylene Dichloride (1,2-Dichloroethane)
Ethylene Dichloride's high reactivity and solvent properties make it an incredibly valuable and versatile chemical with applications across numerous industries:
Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Production:
The vast majority (over 90%) of Ethylene Dichloride produced globally is consumed in the manufacture of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). VCM is then polymerized to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the world's most widely used plastics for pipes, window frames, flooring, and many other applications.
Industrial Solvent:
EDC is an excellent solvent for fats, waxes, resins, and various organic compounds. It is used as a solvent in the production of adhesives, coatings, lacquers, and in textile processing.
Chemical Intermediate:
It serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of other organic chemicals, including ethylenediamine, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and other chlorinated solvents.
Degreasing and Extraction Agent:
Its strong solvent capabilities make it useful in certain specialized degreasing operations for metal parts and in extraction processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
