Vinyl chloride, with the CAS number 75-01-4, is a colorless gas at room temperature and has a slightly sweet odor. It is an important industrial chemical primarily used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a widely used plastic. Vinyl chloride is highly flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air. It has a low boiling point, which allows it to be easily liquefied under pressure. The substance is classified as a carcinogen, with long-term exposure linked to an increased risk of liver cancer and other health issues. Vinyl chloride is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is produced through the reaction of ethylene and chlorine, followed by dehydrochlorination. Due to its hazardous nature, strict regulations govern its handling, storage, and disposal to minimize environmental and health risks. Safety measures, including proper ventilation and protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound in industrial settings.
