1-2 Dichloroethane Market to Witness Comprehensive Growth by 2026
1-2 Dichloroethane Market: Introduction 1-2 Dichloroethane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that was previously known as ethylene dichloride (EDC). It is a clear colorless flammable liquid with chloroform-like odor that can emits toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid when heated to decomposition. The chemical formula for ethylene dichloride is C 2 H 4 Cl 2 , and its molecular weight is 98.96 g/mol. It is primarily used to manufacture vinyl chloride monomer, which is a main precursor of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) production. It is classified as a human carcinogenic and induces respiratory distress, nausea, and vomiting when inhaled. 1-2 Dichloroethane is used as a solvent in food processing. It is also used as a solvent in closed systems for several extraction and cleaning purposes in organic compound synthesis. Moreover, it acts as a lead scavenger when added to leaded gasoline. It is also used as a dispersant in rubber and plastics and as a wetting and penetrating agent. Many countries su...
