    1,2-Dichloroethane CAS 107-06-2

    1,2-Dichloroethane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon and essential chemical feedstock utilized primarily as the precursor for vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) production. Widely recognized in the chemical sector as Ethylene dichloride or EDC, this clear, volatile liquid serves as a fundamental building block in the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins and as a scavenger in specific organic synthesis processes. We offer this high-volume industrial intermediate with competitive factory pricing to support continuous petrochemical operations. Our logistics framework ensures reliable bulk supply availability and customized specifications, fully accompanied by MSDS, TDS, COA documentation for strict safety handling and compliance.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Does 1,2-Dichloroethane correspond to the symmetrical Ethylene Dichloride isomer or the 1,1-isomer?

      A: 1,2-Dichloroethane is verified under CAS 107-06-2 as the symmetrical isomer (Ethylene Dichloride) with chlorines on adjacent carbons, distinguishing it from 1,1-Dichloroethane (Ethylidene Chloride) to ensure correct reactivity for cracking processes.
    • Q:

      What is the primary industrial function of 1,2-Dichloroethane in the petrochemical sector?

      A: 1,2-Dichloroethane is typically applied as the vital reactant intermediate for thermal cracking to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is subsequently polymerized into PVC plastics.
