Product Application

As a Chemical Intermediate (Primary Use, >90% of global production):

Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Production:​ Its single most important use. EDC is thermally cracked to produce VCM and HCl. VCM is the monomer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the world's most widely produced plastics.

Ethylenediamine Production:​ Reacted with ammonia to produce ethylenediamine, a precursor to chelating agents (e.g., EDTA), agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Other Syntheses:​ Intermediate for the production of trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, and chlorinated solvents.

As an Industrial Solvent (Highly Restricted Use):

Due to its extreme toxicity, solvent applications are now minimal and strictly controlled in specific industrial settings:

Metal Cleaning & Degreasing:​ Historically used for precision metal cleaning; largely replaced by safer alternatives.

Extraction Solvent:​ For extraction of oils, fats, or alkaloids.

Adhesives & Coatings:​ Former component, now almost entirely phased out.
