Ethylene Dichloride (Formula : C2H4Cl2 ), is a chlorinated hydrocarbon, mainly used to produce Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM, chloroethene), the major precursor for PVC production. It is a colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is also used generally as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds, and as a solvent.

Application
- EDC is used primarily as a raw material in the manufacture of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM). The vinyl chloride, in turn is used to manufacture Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) resin.
- EDC is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of chlorinated and fluorinated compounds.
