Product Detail

Dichloroethane is an organic compound, a type of halogenated hydrocarbon. Dichloroethane has two isomers,1, 1-dichloroethane and 1, 2-dichloroethane, which are generally referred to as 1, 2-dichloroethane unless otherwise specified. Dichloroethane is colorless or light yellow transparent liquid, insoluble in water, it is colorless at room temperature with chloroform-like odor liquid, toxic, potentially carcinogenic, mainly used as an intermediate in the production process of vinyl chloride (polyvinyl chloride monomer), synthesis is often used as a solvent, also used as wax, fat, rubber and other solvents and grain insecticides. Possible solvent alternatives include 1, 3-dioxane and toluene.

Application

1. As the solvent: EDC is a common organic solvent used to dissolve organic matter, fatty acids, lipids, resins and rubber. It has a high solubility and volatility and can be used to dissolve and clean different kinds of materials.

2. As the stain remover: Because chemical dichloroethane has strong solvent and decontamination ability, it is often used to remove paint, glue, cosmetics, grease and other difficult to clean stains. However, due to the potential risks to the environment and human health, frequent use and long-term exposure should be avoided as much as possible.

3. As the disinfectant: dichloroethane has a strong sterilization and disinfection capacity, and is often used in the medical, health and food industries, for disinfecting medical equipment, treating water and food.

4. As the chemical synthesis intermediate: dichloroethane can be used as a chemical synthesis intermediate for the production of other organic compounds. For example, it can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of esters, alcohols, ethers, amides and amino acids.

5. As the volatile glyphosate solvent: Glyphosate is a commonly used herbicide, and dichloroethane is commonly used as a volatile solvent for the preparation of glyphosate granules or liquid formulations.
