Description
Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is used primarily for the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is used mainly in the polymerization manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). EDC is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of chlorinated solvents and ethyleneamines, and as a solvent in the textile, metal cleaning, and adhesive industries. The United States is the world's largest producer and consumer of EDC, accounting for 31% of global capacity, 32% of global production, and 29% of global consumption in 2018. The United States is also the largest EDC exporter, representing about 43% of global exports, as a result of advantaged production economics and healthy demand for caustic soda. Northeast Asia is the second-largest player in the EDC market, with 26% of global capacity and about 28% of global production and consumption. Given the region's higher energy and feedstock costs, Northeast Asia is the largest importer of EDC.
