Physical properties are reference data, not supply limits. This is an industrial grade, not a reagent or food grade.
Commercial Information
Storage & Shipping
Storage Conditions
Keep tightly sealed in a cool, ventilated place with controlled access and secondary containment. Protect from sunlight, heat and incompatible acids, alkalis, reactive metals and oxidizers. Use only compatible containers and transfer equipment.
Packaging Integrity
Inspect drums, closures and solvent-transfer connections for leaks before unloading. Keep lot identification visible, secure drums upright and collect leaks within compatible secondary containment.
Packaging
210 L galvanized steel drums
Handling & Protection
Use closed solvent transfer and effective vapor extraction. Wear suitable solvent-resistant gloves, eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid skin exposure and inhalation; assess workplace vapor exposure and do not use near welding, hot surfaces or incompatible reactive metals.
What Is Tetrachloroethylene?
Tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, PCE), CAS 127-18-4, is a non-flammable chlorinated solvent with formula C2Cl4 and molecular weight 165.83 g/mol. It dissolves oils, greases and waxes, has low water solubility and boils at 121.2°C, which suits closed-loop metal cleaning and chemical processing.
This is an industrial solvent grade. The specification gives appearance and physical properties, and each batch COA reports the analysis of the material supplied.
PCE ships as UN 1897, Class 6.1, packing group III. Vapour affects the central nervous system, and it is classified as a suspected carcinogen and skin sensitizer, so use closed equipment, solvent recovery and exposure controls. Keep it away from welding and open flames, which form toxic decomposition gases. Check local restrictions on use.
As a tetrachloroethylene supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the clear, colourless liquid in 210 L galvanized steel drums.
