Fousi Supply 1,2-Dichloroethane CAS 107-06-2

 

1,2-Dichloroe thane, also called ethylene dichlo ride (EDC), is a manufactured chemical that is not found naturally in the environment.
It is used principally to synthesize vinyl chlo ride, which is further used to produce a variety of vinyl based plastics products, such as polyvinyl chlo ride (PVC) pipes, furniture, automobile upholstery, wall coverings, housewares, and automobile parts.
It is used in solvents in closed systems for various extraction and cleaning purposes in organic synthesis.
It is used as a leaded gaso line additive to remove lead, but with declining tendency.
It is used as a dispersant in rubber and plastics, as a wetting and penetrating agent.
It was used in ore flotation, as a metal degreaser, and in textile and PVC cleaning.
It was also used as an insect fumigant for stored grains and in mushroom houses, a soil fumigant in peach and apple orchards.
But due to its toxicity, it is no longer registered for use as an insect fumigant in the United States (IARC 1999).
 

 

1,2-dichloroe thane is used in the synthesis of vinyl chlo ride and other organic compounds. It is also used as a solvent for nail lacquers, as a degreaser and metal cleaner, in adhesives, in pharmaceutical production, and in tobacco and spice
