DICHLORETHANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Dichloroethane (DCE), also known as 1,2-dichloroethane, is a volatile, colorless liquid with a sweet odor, commonly used as an industrial solvent and chemical intermediate. Its chemical formula is C₂H₄Cl₂, and it is produced by the chlorination of ethylene. DCE is primarily used in the production of vinyl chloride, the monomer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. It also serves as a solvent for fats, oils, waxes, resins, and various organic compounds.
