1. Product Introduction
Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM)
UN NO.:1086 Hazard class 2.1
Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) other names Chloroethylene, is an important industrial chemical chiefly used to produce the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl Chloride is a chemical intermediate, not a final product. Due to the hazardous nature of vinyl chloride to human health there are no end products that use vinyl chloride in its monomer form. Polyvinyl chloride is very stable, storable, and nowhere near as acutely hazardous as the monomer.
