About the Product –

The chemical compound 1,2-dichloroethane commonly known as ethylene dichloride (EDC), is a chlorinated hydrocarbon. It is a colourless liquid with a chloroform-like odour. The most common use of 1,2-dichloroethane is in the production of vinyl chloride, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, furniture and automobile upholstery, wall coverings, housewares, and automobile parts.[3]1,2-Dichloroethane is also used generally as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds and as a solvent. It forms azeotropes with many other solvents, including water and other chlorocarbons.

Production Process –

Ethylene dichloride is produced through the iron(III) chloride catalyzed reaction of ethene (ethylene) and chlorine.

H2C=CH2 + Cl2 → Cl-CH2-CH2-Cl

In subsequent reactions, notably to vinyl chloride (chloroethene), hydrogen chloride is formed and reused in a copper(II) chloride catalyzed reaction, to also produce 1,2-dichloroethane from ethene and oxygen.

H2C=CH2 + 2 HCl + ½ O2 → Cl-CH2-CH2-Cl + H2O

Uses-

Ø As raw material in the manufacture of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM).

Ø As an intermediate in the manufacture of chlorinated and fluorinated compounds.

Ø As a solvent in the textile, metal cleaning and adhesive industries.

Ø As a solvent in the textile, metal cleaning and adhesives industries.

Ø As an intermediate in the production of perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethylene) and as a catalyst in hexachlorophene production.

Quarter two domestic EDC prices have remained soft-to-firm no major deals and discussion has been heard from end users. Previous three months average domestic EDC prices were assessed in the range of Rs 22-23/kg at Kandla port. CFR India prices of EDC were evaluated in the range of USD 265-285/MT.

Recently upstream ethylene prices have remained firm market is moving with sluggish velocity. PVC demand also remained lukewarm from China and India which has resulted in sluggish demand sentiments for EDC.

For upcoming market outlook participants are anticipating that near term EDC market will remain unyielding as material is available in good quantity and stipulation has been bearish. On the other hand some market players have said that after the end of rainy season demand will take an affirmative move from PVC and VCM users.
