    Product Description

    1,2-Dichloroethane (EDC), CAS 107-06-2, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon also named ethylene dichloride; the EC/EINECS number is 203-458-1.

    Synonyms: Ethylene dichloride; EDC; Ethylene chloride; Glycol dichloride; 1,2-Ethylene dichloride.

    CAS: 107-06-2.

    Molecular formula: C₂H₄Cl₂.

    Molecular weight: 98.96.

    EC number: 203-458-1.

    It is a clear, colorless to pale-yellow liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor that is slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents.

    Typical properties include melting point about -35.7 °C, boiling point about 83.5 °C, flash point about 13 °C (closed cup), and relative density about 1.253.

    It is widely used as an intermediate in the production of vinyl chloride monomer, which is then converted into polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

    It is also used as a solvent for waxes, fats, rubber and adhesives, and in selected chlorinated solvent or chemical synthesis applications.

    Confirm assay, water content, color, acidity, density and related chlorinated impurities; industrial EDC is often supplied at about 99.5% or 99.9% assay, so purity should match the downstream reaction or solvent application.

    Store EDC in tightly closed containers in a cool, ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, oxidizers and food or feed. It is flammable and toxic, so use explosion-proof equipment, vapor controls and appropriate chemical-resistant PPE.

    Confirm the current product-specific specification.

    Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

    Document requirements should be confirmed from the current specification, SDS, COA, or other product-specific files.

    Regulated-use suitability must be confirmed separately with current product-specific documentation.

    • Q:

      What is 1,2-Dichloroethane used for?

      A: EDC is mainly used as an intermediate in the production of vinyl chloride monomer, which is then converted into polyvinyl chloride. It is also used as a solvent for waxes, fats, rubber and adhesives, and in selected chlorinated solvent or chemical synthesis applications.
    • Q:

      Which specifications should be confirmed when purchasing 1,2-Dichloroethane?

      A: Confirm assay, water content, color, acidity, density and related chlorinated impurities. Industrial EDC is often supplied at about 99.5% or 99.9% assay, so the required purity should match the downstream reaction or solvent application.
    • Q:

      What packaging is typical for industrial 1,2-Dichloroethane?

      A: Industrial 1,2-Dichloroethane is commonly packed in 250 kg iron drums. Larger volumes may be supplied in IBCs or ISO tanks where the receiving and storage system supports bulk handling.
    • Q:

      How should 1,2-Dichloroethane be stored and handled?

      A: Store EDC in tightly closed containers in a cool, ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, oxidizers and food or feed. It is flammable and toxic, so use explosion-proof equipment, vapor controls and appropriate chemical-resistant PPE.
