Vinylidene Chloride is an organic halogen chemical compound that has a wide range of applications associated with the polymer Industry. It is mainly used as an intermediate in the formation of various organic chemical compounds and copolymers. It serves as a chemical that is copolymerized with other monomers such as vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, or methacrylate to produce a type of plastic called saran. It is widely used in the production of saran films that are used in food wraps, coatings, and other packaging materials. It also finds its application in the production of polyvinylidene chloride copolymers. It is often used for production flame retardant coatings for fibers and carpet backings.
The market for Vinylidene Chloride is majorly driven by its association with the chemical and polymer industries, which contributes to its demand. Its involvement in the production of flexible plastic films for food packaging further enhances its demand in the packaging industry. Its application in the development of SARAN Wrap and polyvinylidene chloride copolymers largely promotes its demand in the chemical industry. Its application in the textile and construction industries for producing Flame retardant coatings for fibers also surges its market expansion. Additionally, multiple factors, such as the availability of raw materials (caustic soda, etc.), its application in the polymer industry, distribution, supplier relationship, and quality standards, are some factors that influence industrial Vinylidene Chloride procurement to a great extent.
Raw Material for Vinylidene Chloride Production
According to the Vinylidene Chloride production plant project report, the major raw materials for Vinylidene Chloride production include 1,1,2-Trichloroethane-Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
Production Process of Vinylidene Chloride
The extensive Vinylidene Chloride production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Dehydrochlorination: The process involves the dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2-trichloroethane with an alkaline aqueous solution, which leads to the formation of vinylidene chloride as the product. The synthesis starts with the dehydrochlorination reaction of 1,1,2-trichloroethane with caustic soda (NaOH), removing an HCl molecule and producing vinylidene chloride as the final product.
Vinylidene Chloride is a colorless and toxic chemical compound that holds a mild, sweet smell that resembles that of chloroform. The molecular formula of the compound is C2H2Cl2, and its molecular mass is 96.94 g/mol. Vinylidene Chloride is a clear liquid chemical that possesses a boiling and melting point of around 31.6 °C and -122.5 °C, respectively. The density of this compound is 1.21 g/cm3 at 20°C.
