Ethylene carbonate is a good organic solvent and can dissolve many kinds of polymers. It can also be used as an organic intermediate to replace ethylene oxide in the reaction of dioxide. It is also the main material for the production of dimethyl carbonate by transesterification. It can also be used as raw material for the synthesis of furazolidone, water glass slurry, etc. In addition, it is also used in the electrolyte of lithium batteries. Vinyl carbonate can also be used as an active intermediate in the production of lubricating oil and grease.

It is a good solvent for Polyacrylonitrile and polyvinyl chloride. It can be used as a spinning fluid for textiles, as a solvent for removing acid gases and as an additive for concrete, as a component and raw material for pharmaceuticals, as a stabilizer for plastic foaming agent and synthetic lubricating oil, and as an excellent solvent for lithium battery electrolyte in battery industry.
