About VCM
VCM is the basic building block in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), accounting for 96.76 percent of the total VCM demand. VCM is among the top 20 largest petrochemical in the world. VCM is used in other applications such as to manufacture ethylenediamine for the production of resins and the production of chlorinated solvents. VCM is produced by a process called balanced process, where ethylene and chlorine gas act as a feedstock to produce ethylene dichloride (EDC), the basic building block for VCM.
