The chemical compound 1,2-dichloroethane, commonly known as ethylene dichloride (EDC), is a chlorinated hydrocarbon. It is a colourless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. The most common use of 1,2-dichloroethane is in the production of vinyl chloride, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, furniture and automobile upholstery, wall coverings, housewares, and automobile parts. 1,2-Dichloroethane is also used generally as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds, and as a solvent. It forms azeotropes with many other solvents, including water and other chlorocarbons.
1,2-dichloroethane is a member of the class of chloroethanes substituted by two chloro groups at positions 1 and 2. It has a role as a non-polar solvent and a mutagen. Ethylene dichloride appears as a clear colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Flash point 56°F. Denser than water and insoluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. Density 10.4 lb / gal. 1,2-Dichloroethane, also called ethylene dichloride, is a manufactured chemical that is not found naturally in the environment. It is a clear liquid and has a pleasant smell and sweet taste. The most common use of 1,2-dichloroethane is in the production of vinyl chloride which is used to make a variety of plastic and vinyl products including polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, furniture and automobile upholstery, wall coverings, housewares, and automobile parts. It is also used to as a solvent and is added to leaded gasoline to remove lead.
The growing demand of ethylene dichloride for the production of vinyl chloride monomers will drive the demand growth for the ethylene dichloride market. Additionally, increasing demand for the vinyl chloride for the production of pipes, – ttings, pro- les, tubes, windows, doors will further imply in the demand growth for the ethylene dichloride market. Predominantly, high toxicity of ethylene dichloride due to its high vapour pressure may hamper the market growth for ethylene dichloride market. However, ethylene dichloride is used as precursor to 1,1,1-trichloroethane which is used for dry cleaning process will create opportunity for the ethylene dichloride market.
Brazil displaced China as the top export market for US-origin ethylene dichloride, a key intermediate in manufacturing construction staple polyvinyl chloride, according to data from the US International Trade Commission.
