Description:
Dichloroethane, also known as ethylene dichloride, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H4Cl2. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling liquid that is primarily used as an industrial solvent and in the production of vinyl chloride, which is a precursor to PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Dichloroethane is characterized by its moderate volatility and relatively high density compared to water. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is classified as a chlorinated hydrocarbon and can pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects upon prolonged exposure. It has a boiling point that allows it to be used in various applications, including as a solvent in chemical reactions and extractions. Due to its environmental impact, particularly in terms of air and water pollution, the use of dichloroethane is regulated in many countries. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate its potential hazards to human health and the environment.
