Key Products

Caustic Soda

Caustic Soda Solution (NaOH) is a colorless, viscous, corrosive liquid with a neutral odour. It is completely soluble in water. Contact with most metals results in the formation of flammable hydrogen gas.

Qatar Vinyl Company’s (QVC) Caustic Soda is produced from electrolysis of brine solution at our petrochemical complex located in Mesaieed Industrial City (MIC), Mesaieed, Qatar.

Ethylene Dichloride (EDC)

Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a faint chloroform-type odour. EDC is used primarily in the production of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM).

Qatar Vinyl Company’s EDC is produced by oxychlorination and direct chlorination of Ethylene at our petrochemical complex located in Mesaieed Industrial City (MIC), Mesaieed, Qatar.

Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM)

Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) is a colorless gas with a faint odor. It forms a liquid readily under increased pressure or at reduced temperatures. VCM is used primarily in the production of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) homopolymer and copolymer resins.

Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC)

Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer with excellent durability, chemical resistance and processing versatility. PVC is used primarily in the manufacture of pipes and fittings, profiles, cables, films, sheets and various construction materials.

Qatar Vinyl Company’s PVC is produced through the polymerization of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) at our petrochemical complex located in Mesaieed Industrial City (MIC), Mesaieed, Qatar.
