What is perchlorethylene PERC?
Perchlorethylene PERC also known as tetrachloroethylene, perc, PCE. It is a nonflammable liquid at room temperature. It evaporates easily into the air and has a sharp, sweet odor. Most people can smell tetrachloroethylene when it is present in the air at a concentration of 1 part per million (1 ppm), although some can smell it at even lower levels.
Does perchloroethylene PERC solvent dissolve in water?
Perchloroethylene (PERC) solvent is only slightly or marginally soluble in water, and for practical purposes, is often described as insoluble or immiscible. The low solubility means that a mixture of PERC and water will separate into two distinct layers, much like oil and water.
Uses
Due to the water-insoluble nature of tetrachloroethylene, it can be used in the following areas:
- Dry cleaning: It dissolves oil and grease stains on clothes without mixing with water, so it won't shrink or damage delicate fabrics.
- Metal degreasing: It cleans grease off metal parts effectively, and since it doesn't mix with water, it leaves no water marks on the metal surface.
- Oil-water separation: Perchlorethylene can be used to extract oil-based substances from aqueous mixtures in simple industrial processes.
