1,2-Dichloroethane
1,2-Dichloroethane has a wide range of uses, mainly including the following aspects:
- Industrial solvent: It can dissolve a variety of substances, such as grease, rubber, resin, etc. It is often used for metal cleaning and degreasing, and as a solvent for paints, coatings, and adhesives. It can improve the performance of these materials, such as leveling and drying speed.
- Chemical synthesis raw materials: It is an important raw material for the production of various chemical products such as vinyl chloride, ethylenediamine, and ethylene glycol. Vinyl chloride is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC); ethylenediamine is used to produce pesticides, medicines, dyes, etc.; ethylene glycol can be used to produce polyester fibers, antifreeze, etc.
- Extractant: In the petrochemical and oil and fat industries, 1,2-Dichloroethane can be used as an extractant to extract specific compounds, such as extracting aromatics from petroleum fractions and extracting oils from vegetable oils.
- Fumigant: In the fields of agriculture and warehousing, it can be used to fumigate pests and sterilize to protect food, wood, Chinese medicinal materials, etc. from insect pests and mildew, but safety protection should be paid attention to when using it, because it is toxic to the human body.
- Organic reaction medium: In organic synthesis reactions, as a reaction medium, it provides a stable environment for the reaction, helps the reactants to mix fully and react, and improves the selectivity and yield of the reaction.
