PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) is the organochloride with the formula CH2=CHCl. It is also called vinyl chloride monomer, or VCM. This colorless compound is an important industrial chemical mainly used to produce the polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl chloride is a chemical intermediate, not a final product and hence there are no end products that use vinyl chloride in its monomer form.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) was once called Dutch oil in honor of the Dutch scientists who first synthesized this compound from ethylene and chlorine gasses in the late 18th century. Nowadays it is mainly used to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the major raw material for PVC production. It is also used as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds and as a solvent.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a co-product in the process of EDC cracking. Some of hydrochloric acid is used in Oxy-Chlorination process to produce EDC while the rest is delivered to customers in the form of 33% solution.ASC produce high quality hydrochloric acid with applications ranging from highly demanding applications such as pharmaceutical and food industry, for preparation of drinking water, as a raw material for consumable products, down to more general industrial applications such as for metal pickling, ion-exchange regeneration, raw material for the production of numerous inorganic and organic compounds, pH-regulation and neutralization of process streams.
