What is Dichloroethane CAS 1300-21-6?

Dichloroethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H4Cl2 and a molecular weight of 98.97. It belongs to the class of halogenated hydrocarbons. Dichloroethane exists in two isomers: 1,1-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloroethane. Unless otherwise specified, it generally refers to 1,2-dichloroethane. Dichloroethane appears as a colorless or pale yellow transparent liquid, poorly soluble in water. At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Dichloroethane is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of vinyl chloride (a monomer for polyvinyl chloride). It serves as a solvent in synthesis, can be added to leaded gasoline to increase octane ratings, and is also used as a solvent for waxes, fats, and rubber, as well as a grain insecticide.

What is dichloroethane (CAS 1300-21-6) used for?

 

The primary use of 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) is as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Over 90% of it is used to make vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is then polymerized to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. Its other uses (as a solvent, lead scavenger) have declined significantly due to its toxicity.
