- Product Background
Approximately 95% of the world’s production of EDC is used in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) which is in turn used to manufacture polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC is a versatile polymer used in a wide variety of applications in the construction, health care, electronic and automotive sectors, ranging from piping and cable insulation to windshield components.

Regulatory & Compliance
Storage & Handling
- Handling and Storage
Handling
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid inhaling vapor and/or mists. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment. Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid generation of electrostatic discharge. Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Handling Temperature: Ambient.
Storage
Storage Temperature: Ambient. Must be stored in a well-ventilated area, away from sunlight, ignition sources and other sources of heat. Vapors from tanks should not be released to atmosphere. Breathing losses during storage should be controlled by a suitable vapor treatment system.
