Tetrachloroethylene

Tetrachloroethylene (CAS No. 127-18-4), also known as Perchloroethylene (PCE), is a high-purity chlorinated solvent widely used in industrial and chemical applications. As a leading industrial solvent, PCE is a clear, colorless liquid with low water solubility and excellent solvency for oils, greases, and many organic compounds. Yes, it effectively dissolves heavy hydrocarbons, oils, waxes, and organic deposits commonly found in refinery equipment and pipelines.

• Metal Degreasing
  Widely used as an industrial degreasing solvent for removing oils, grease, and contaminants from metal parts in automotive, machinery, and precision manufacturing.
• Dry Cleaning Solvent
  Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene, PCE) is a primary solvent used in professional dry cleaning due to its strong solvency and fabric compatibility.
• Chemical Processing
  Used as a reaction medium and extraction solvent in chemical manufacturing and specialty chemical production.
• Precision Cleaning
  Suitable for precision cleaning of electronic components, aerospace parts, and high-value industrial equipment.
• Industrial Solvent Applications
  Commonly used in coatings, adhesives, and specialty manufacturing where strong solvency and chemical stability are required.

Store Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight. Keep storage temperature below 30 °C and away from fire, heat sources, and ignition points. Avoid contact or mixed storage with oxidizing agents, and ensure containers remain tightly sealed and undamaged to prevent leakage and contamination.
