Epichlorohydrin (ECH) Supplier in India
VSVK Group supplies epichlorohydrin (ECH) to epoxy-resin manufacturers and specialty-chemical producers in India. Epichlorohydrin (chemically 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, C₃H₅ClO, CAS 106-89-8) is a clear, colourless, mobile liquid with a sharp, chloroform-like odour. It is a reactive, high-value chemical intermediate whose combination of an epoxide ring and a chlorine atom makes it central to epoxy chemistry.
As a Kanpur-based chemical importer, distributor and exporter operating since 1982, VSVK sources ECH for industrial buyers who need a reliable supply line for a product that has historically depended on imports, with Indian domestic capacity now expanding.
Primary application: epoxy resins
ECH’s dominant use is the production of epoxy resins (reacted with bisphenol-A), which underpin protective coatings, adhesives, composites, electrical laminates and flooring. For epoxy producers, security of ECH supply is a core procurement concern — which is where an established trading partner is valued.
Other industrial applications
- Synthetic glycerine production
- Epichlorohydrin (ECO) elastomers — oil- and heat-resistant rubbers
- Water-treatment polyamine coagulants and flocculants
- Wet-strength resins for paper
- Ion-exchange resins and specialty surfactants
- Pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates
VSVK positions ECH honestly around these verified industrial uses and does not overstate the product’s scope.
Industrial Applications
- Epoxy resin production (primary)
- Synthetic glycerine
- Epichlorohydrin (ECO) elastomers
- Water-treatment coagulants; paper wet-strength resins
- Ion-exchange resins; specialty intermediates
A note on the India supply picture
ECH demand in India is driven by the growing epoxy-resin sector, and the market has traditionally leaned on imports. Domestic chlor-alkali/epoxy majors are adding ECH capacity, which is improving availability. VSVK’s role as an importer, distributor and authorised distributor for leading chemical principals positions it to source ECH for buyers — with the specific origin, brand and grade confirmed per enquiry rather than stated in advance.
Handling and responsibility
Epichlorohydrin is a hazardous chemical: it is toxic, an irritant, flammable and classified as probably carcinogenic to humans. It must be handled only by trained personnel using proper engineering controls and PPE, in line with the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). This page deliberately provides no synthesis, purification or operational-handling procedures; VSVK supplies documentation and safe-transport support to qualified industrial buyers.
Sourcing with VSVK Group
VSVK is a supplier, distributor and sourcing partner — not a manufacturer. Industrial buyers get a single point of contact for enquiry, documentation, hazardous-goods logistics and delivery, backed by 20,000 sq. ft. warehousing, an own tanker fleet and four decades of trade relationships. This suits epoxy-resin plants, water-treatment chemical makers and specialty formulators requiring dependable ECH supply.
