Trichloroethylene 25kg
Trichloroethylene Technical Grade 25kg
Trichloroethylene (TCE) Technical Grade is a, colorless, volatile, and non-flammable chlorinated hydrocarbon liquid primarily used as a powerful industrial solvent. Due to its high solvency, it is specialized in removing oils, greases, waxes, and tars from metal parts and other materials. Trichloroethylene 25kg
Key Industrial and Technical Uses
Vapor Degreasing: This is the primary use, where hot vapors are used to clean manufactured metal parts, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Cold Cleaning: Used for cleaning anddegreasing via dipping or wiping in maintenance and repair operations.
Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a feedstock in the production of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants (e.g., HFC-134a), PVC, and flame retardants.
Textile Processing: Used for scouring cotton, wool, and other fabrics, as well as in the removal of basting threads.
Adhesives and Coatings: Acts as a carrier solvent in the formulation of adhesives, sealants, paints, varnishes, and printing inks.
Industrial Cleaning: Used in electronics and jewelry manufacturing to clean delicate components.
Specialized Applications: Historically used in pavement reclamation to break down oxidized asphalt binders.

Important Regulatory and Health Note
Due to high toxicity (a known human carcinogen) and environmental concerns, the US EPA has finalized a rule in 2024 to ban most uses of TCE, with significant restrictions and, in many cases, total phase-outs to be completed in the coming years.
- Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a volatile, colorless liquid organic chemical.
- TCE does not occur naturally and is created by chemical synthesis.
- It is used primarily to make refrigerants and other hydrofluorocarbons and as a degreasing solvent for metal equipment.
