Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1,2-Dichloroethane
- EDC
Ethylene dichloride supplier for chemical processors and manufacturers in Malaysia. Ethylene dichloride, also called 1,2-dichloroethane and abbreviated EDC, is a colourless chlorinated liquid used chiefly as a chemical intermediate and as an industrial solvent and synthesis feedstock.
Industrial and synthesis grades can be requested against the purity and impurity limits of the buyer's process. The liquid is denser than water, slightly soluble in water and miscible with many organic solvents.
Vinyl chain manufacture, chemical synthesis and agricultural chemical processes each set their own specification and handling requirements for EDC. State the end use, grade and quantity so the quoted material matches the process.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about ethylene dichloride
What is ethylene dichloride?
Ethylene dichloride, also called 1,2-dichloroethane and abbreviated EDC, is a colourless chlorinated liquid used chiefly as a chemical intermediate and industrial solvent.
Is ethylene dichloride the same as vinyl chloride?
No. Ethylene dichloride is a saturated dichloro compound, while vinyl chloride is a different, unsaturated monomer. EDC is handled here as the intermediate product; vinyl chloride enquiries need their own specification.
Which ethylene dichloride grade should I request?
Industrial and synthesis grades differ in purity and impurity limits. Include the process requirement, quantity and delivery location so the quoted grade matches your specification.
What packing is ethylene dichloride supplied in?
Compatible liquid packing is selected for the quoted grade, quantity and delivery requirements. The exact format and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
How is ethylene dichloride priced for Malaysian buyers?
Price depends on grade, required purity, moisture and process-impurity limits, quantity and delivery arrangement. The quotation carries its own validity period.
