Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Vinyl Chloride
- VCM
- Chloroethylene
Vinyl chloride monomer, commonly abbreviated as VCM, is the principal chemical feedstock used to manufacture polyvinyl chloride resin. ChemTrade handles vinyl chloride monomer supplier enquiries in Malaysia for buyers that can define the required grade, purity basis, inhibitor requirement, volume and receiving arrangement.
VCM is gaseous at ordinary ambient conditions and is handled commercially as a pressurised liquefied feedstock. Polymerisation grade is selected for PVC homopolymer and compatible copolymer production, while a technical intermediate requirement must be tied to the exact downstream process specification.
Vinyl chloride monomer and PVC are not interchangeable products. A buyer seeking resin should order the polymer grade directly, while a VCM enquiry needs the monomer specification, required documentation and site receiving capability needed for the proposed supply arrangement.
Send the specification, volume, application and delivery location for commercial review. Supply is subject to applicable requirements, and availability, supply format, documentation, route and timing are confirmed with the quotation rather than implied by the catalogue listing.

Common questions about Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)
Is vinyl chloride monomer the same product as PVC?
No. Vinyl chloride monomer is the chemical feedstock used to manufacture polyvinyl chloride, while PVC is the resulting polymer resin and must be purchased under its own specification.
What VCM grade information should a buyer provide?
State the purity basis, inhibitor requirement where applicable, intended polymerisation or process use, volume, receiving capability and documentation needs.
Is vinyl chloride monomer supplied as an ordinary liquid chemical?
VCM is gaseous at ordinary ambient conditions and is handled commercially as a liquefied feedstock. The supply format must be matched to the buyer's approved receiving arrangements.
Which industries use vinyl chloride monomer?
Its principal industrial role is as the monomer for PVC resin and compatible copolymers. It can also serve as a controlled intermediate where a process explicitly specifies VCM.
Can delivery terms be confirmed before a VCM order?
Yes. Supply is subject to applicable requirements, and availability, receiving conditions, documentation, route and timing are addressed in the specific quotation.
