How to Store Trichloroethylene Chemical Safely?

How to Store Trichloroethylene Chemical Safely?

1. Storage Environment

Temperature: Keep below 30°C (86°F); avoid heat sources

Ventilation: Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent vapor accumulation

Lighting: Keep away from direct sunlight to avoid degradation

2. Containers and Labeling

Container type: Use chemical-resistant containers, such as HDPE or steel

Sealing: Ensure tightly sealed lids to prevent vapor release

Labeling: Clearly mark containers with chemical name, CAS number (79-01-6), and hazard symbols

3. Incompatible Materials

Avoid storing TCE near:

Strong oxidizers (e.g., nitric acid, perchlorates)

Alkali metals (e.g., sodium, potassium)

Reactive halogens or other incompatible chemicals

4. Spill and Leak Prevention

Use secondary containment trays to catch leaks

Inspect containers regularly for corrosion or damage

Store away from drains and water sources

Physical and Chemical Properties of TCE chemical

CAS 79-01-6 Trichloroethylene structure:

What are Uses of Trichloroethylene high purity

High Quality Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a highly versatile chlorinated industrial solvent, widely used in industrial and commercial fields.

Metal Degreasing

Trichloroethylene solvent is a core degreasing agent for metal equipment and components. Due to its strong solubility for greases, it provides highly efficient cleaning and degreasing. Its non-flammability and high boiling point make it ideal for steam degreasing.

Raw Material Extraction

In the textile industry, TCE chemicals are used to extract fats, greases, and waxes from cotton, wool, and other fabrics.

Refrigerant Production

Trichloroethylene CAS 79-01-6 is an important raw material for the manufacture of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants.

Functional Additives

Industrial TCE can be added to a variety of products, including paint thinners, paint removers, cleaning wipes, carpet cleaners, adhesives, lubricants, insecticides, stain removers, and typewriter correction fluid.

Pharmaceutical Production

It is an important chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Historical Applications

It has been used as a dry cleaning solvent and a medical anesthetic.
