Enabling stable intermediate flow in PVC and chemical production
Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is primarily used as a key intermediate in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is processed into PVC. It supports continuity in large-scale systems where process flow and material balance are critical.
Even minor deviations in material quality or impurity levels can influence downstream conversion efficiency, impact cracking operations, and impact plant output. Because of this, ethylene dichloride is selected based on performance within integrated processes.
At Vastani Chemicals, we are Ethylene Dichloride suppliers India, supplying materials aligned with industrial requirements. Our UL-certified systems and ISO 9001–aligned quality ensure controlled composition and consistent supply across operations.
