Vinyl Chloride Gas Detectors
Vinyl chloride (C₂H₃Cl) is a colorless gas with a mildly sweet odor, primarily used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. While essential to the plastics industry, vinyl chloride is a volatile and toxic compound. It is both flammable and classified as a known human carcinogen, making it critical to monitor and control its presence in industrial settings. A comprehensive vinyl chloride gas detection system is necessary to ensure safe working environments and regulatory compliance.
Toxic & Flammable Hazards of Vinyl Chloride
Vinyl chloride gas detectors are vital because even low-level exposure poses health risks. Acute exposure can result in dizziness, headaches, or respiratory irritation, while long-term exposure has been linked to severe liver damage, including a rare form of liver cancer (angiosarcoma). As a flammable gas, vinyl chloride also presents explosion hazards when present at concentrations between 3.6% and 33% by volume in air.
The use of reliable vinyl chloride gas detectors provides early leak detection, increasing the chances for quick evacuation, containment, and corrective action before dangerous concentrations build up. At RC Systems, we supply a wide range of industries with reliable, high-performance gas detection sensors for combustible and toxic gases.

Industrial Applications for Vinyl Chloride Detection Systems
Vinyl chloride detection is critical in environments where the gas is manufactured, stored, or used in polymerization. Key industries include:
- PVC and plastic production plants
- Chemical processing facilities
- Bulk storage and distribution terminals
- Environmental remediation projects
- Laboratories and research centers
To prevent exposure and manage risks, detection systems must be installed at likely leak points, such as tank farms, piping connections, and polymer reactors.
