Ethylene dichloride(EDC) CAS 107-06-2
Ethylene Dichloride (EDC), systematically branded as 1,2-Dichloroethane under CAS 107-06-2, is a clear, colorless, and highly volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon fluid with a distinct chloroform-like sweet aroma. Engineered under strict chlorination parameter arrays, our industrial-grade Ethylene Dichloride yields exceptional batch purity, low moisture, and controlled titrable acidity, making it a highly reliable synthesis vehicle and robust solvent for international chemical compounding networks.
- High Solvency Power: Possesses a superior Hansen solubility parameter matrix, acting as an exceptionally effective solvent for heavy industrial oils, fats, natural waxes, synthetic resins, and rubber variants.
- High Volatility & Low Exothermic Profile: Evaporates rapidly at low thermal flash limits, optimizing batch separation cycles and minimizing energy consumption in advanced industrial extraction and cleaning processes.
- Cost-Effective Synthesis Precursor: Functions as an economically scalable, mass-produced chemical platform that provides competitive cost-efficiencies compared to alternative brominated or specialized fluorinated solvent systems.
Ethylene dichloride Description
NAME: Ethylene dichloride (EDC)
Synonyms: 1,2-Dichloroethane / Ethylene chloride / Ethane dichloride
Molecular Formula: C2H4Cl2
Molecular Weight: 98.96
CAS NO.: 107-06-2
Density: 1.2±0.1 g/cm3
Boiling point: 83.5±0.0 °C at 760 mmHg
Melting point: -35 °C
Flashing point: 13.0 – 15.6 ℃ (Closed Cup)
Viscosity: 0.84 mPa·s at 20 °C
Specific Gravity: 1.253 at 20°C (liquid)
Appearance: Clear liquid with an odor like chloroform.
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, miscible in ethanol, ether, chloroform and most common solvents.
Properties: Ethylene Dichloride is a volatile, heavy liquid that releases dense vapors capable of forming highly explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures. It exhibits premium chemical stability under dry processing environments, but reacts intensely when in contact with strong oxidants, active metals (such as aluminum powder or magnesium), causing significant fire and explosion hazards.
Storage: Must be stored in a cool, dark, dry, and exceptionally well-ventilated dedicated Class 3 flammable liquid warehouse. Keep containers hermetically air-tight. Storage temperature should strictly be controlled below 30°C to minimize vapor pressure buildup. Store separately from strong oxidants, reactive nitrogen oxides, acids, and alkalis. The facility must be fully equipped with explosion-proof electrical fittings, lightning protection networks, and automated leakage detection/containment systems.
Safety Protection: Classified as a highly flammable, toxic, and suspected carcinogenic hazardous substance (Class 3, UN 1184, PG II). Vaping exposure induces acute dizziness, respiratory tract irritation, central nervous system depression, and long-term liver or kidney impairment. Direct skin or ocular splash causes severe chemical irritation and corneal turbidity. Operators must mandatory wear positive-pressure SCBA, antistatic flame-retardant suits, and specialized solvent-resistant nitrile/fluoroelastomer gloves.

1,2-Dichloroethane Applications
Ethylene Dichloride CAS 107-06-2 stands as a monumental building block specified heavily across these strategic industrial value chains:
- Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) & PVC Chain: Serves as the primary, irreplaceable intermediate for thermal cracking to produce Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM), which constitutes over 95% of the feedstock line for global Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, profile, and wire extrusion industries.
- Advanced Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Extensively leveraged as a vital alkylating and chlorinating structural unit for formulating chlorinated solvents, ethylenediamine compounds, oxalic acid chains, and specialized high-molecular-weight polymers.
- Industrial Extraction and Processing Solvent: Utilized as an aggressive, fast-evaporating processing solvent for oil degreasing, metal surface de-oiling, and specialized pharmaceutical or spice oleoresin extractions requiring deep chemical penetration and clean solvent recovery.
- Fine Formulation Component: Formulated into heavy-duty specialized industrial degreasers, paint removers, and agricultural fine chemicals under strict enclosed regulatory controls.
