Product Overview
1,2-Dichloroethane (EDC), also known as ethylene dichloride, is a typical chlorinated aliphatic organic compound produced mainly through direct chlorination or oxychlorination of ethylene. It is a colorless, transparent liquid with a mild chloroform-like odor and is considered one of the key bulk chemical feedstocks.
In the PVC industry chain, EDC is primarily used to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is further polymerized into PVC. Therefore, it plays a critical role upstream in the plastics industry. In addition, due to its good solvency and chemical stability, it is also widely used in industrial cleaning, degreasing, extraction processes, and organic synthesis.
