Ethylene Dichloride Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis

Ethylene dichloride (abbreviated as EDC) is a colorless, toxic, extremely flammable, mobile, volatile and slightly soluble in water liquid with a chloroform-like smell. It has and the molecular formula C2H4Cl2. Ethylene dichloride is widely used in the manufacture of vinyl chloride monomer (or VCM) which, in its turn, acts as the key feedstock in the production of polyvinyl chloride monomer (PVC). It used also utilized as an organic solvent, a dispersant, a wetting and dispersant agent and fumigant by some other industries.

The Asia-Pacific, North America and Europe are the most prominent consumers of ethylene dichloride on a global scale. In 2009, the world demand for ethylene dichloride was approximately 32 tonnes, up by around 4 million tonnes from 2000. It is expected to continue growing by around 3 percent annually in the forthcoming years, with the Asia Pacific remaining the top buyer.
