CAS 540-59-0: 1,2-Dichloroethylene

Description: 1,2-Dichloroethylene, also known as ethylene dichloride, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C2H2Cl2 and is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC). This substance exists in two geometric isomers: cis and trans, with the trans isomer being more stable and commonly encountered. 1,2-Dichloroethylene is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, as well as a solvent in industrial applications. It has a relatively low boiling point and high vapor pressure, which contributes to its volatility. The compound is known to be harmful to human health, with potential effects including respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression upon exposure. Additionally, it is classified as a potential carcinogen, necessitating careful handling and regulation in industrial settings. Environmental concerns arise from its persistence and potential to contaminate groundwater, making proper disposal and management critical.
