Is the use of PERC in dry-cleaning restricted or banned anywhere in Europe?
CAS 127-18-4 Perchloroethylene PERC is itself not completely banned for the use in dry-cleaning anywhere in Europe. It is facing certain restrictions in EU member states.
France has taken clear regulatory action to limit PERC use in dry-cleaning. The country enacted a specific national regulation, which came into force on March 1, 2013. This rule mandates a progressive phase-out of PERC-based dry-cleaning machines operating in residential areas, with the full phase-out deadline set for 2022. The measure aims to reduce PerchloroethylenePERC emissions in densely populated zones, minimizing potential exposure risks for nearby residents.
Denmark implemented measures, which are often mentioned as a ban on PERC, while it rather implements strict measures for all solvents used in dry- cleaning. According to the Danish Dry-Cleaning Association, two-thirds of the Danish dry-cleaners use Perchloroethylene PERC.
However, Perchloroethylene PERC solvent has many other uses.
CAS 127-18-4 PERC is an important industrial solvent, effectively dissolving many organic and inorganic substances. It is widely used in the chemical industry for degreasing, oil removal, and cleaning processes, and is also a solvent for the production of synthetic fibers and plastics.
Secondly, tetrachloroethylene is an important intermediate in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC is a plastic widely used in construction, wire and cable, automotive, packaging, and medical fields. Tetrachloroethylene can be polymerized to produce PVC, which is then used in the manufacture of these products.
Perchloroethylene PERC is also used in the manufacture of rubber, synthetic resins, and fire retardants. It is also used in coatings, adhesives and sealants.
