Vinyl chloride (C2H3Cl) is a combustible gas comprising carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. It is a colorless gas that evaporates quickly and leaves a mildly sweet odor. It is slightly soluble in water but completely soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, benzene, and diethyl ether. It is commercially obtained by direct chlorination, which is an exothermic reaction where ethylene and chlorine are reacted in the presence of a catalyst, i.e., ferric chloride (FeCl3).
The monomer is also known as chloroethane, ethylene monochloride, or Vinyl chloride monomer. Its boiling and melting point measures around -13.4° C and -153.8° C, respectively. It is widely used to manufacture its derivative products, mainly polyVinyl chloride (PVC) and other plasticizers.

Additionally, Vinyl chloride produces various plastics varieties that are used commercially to manufacture bed covers, cushioning materials, vehicle upholstery, kitchenware items, and more. It is also used for paint and coating, allowing corrosion resistivity to the coated surface while mixed with other chemical compounds. It is industrially used to synthesize several chlorinated chemical solvents and produces ethylene diamine, an essential ingredient in manufacturing resins.
