Is Trichloroethylene TCE a degreaser?
CAS 79-01-6 Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a highly effective industrial degreaser, renowned for its powerful solvent properties that make it ideal for removing oils, grease, and other stubborn contaminants from metal parts.
How TCE Functions as a Degreaser
Trichloroethylene TCE's primary use as a degreaser centers on vapor degreasing, a precision cleaning process tailored for metal components. In specialized industrial machines, TCE is heated to produce hot vapor; this vapor condenses on the surface of cold metal parts, where it dissolves oils, grease, and other industrial contaminants. The solvent-contaminant mixture then drips away from the metal, leaving behind a thoroughly cleaned, residue-free surface-no manual scrubbing required for even hard-to-reach areas.
Other uses of TCE Trichloroethylene
Metal Fabrication - Many industries, including aerospace, automotive, and household appliance production, use trichloroethylene in vapor degreasing for metal parts to remove soil and metal chips during fabrication. It is also used for cold cleaning in painting processes.
Metal Cleaning - Primary solvent for cleaning aluminum and is second only to alkalis for sheet and strip steel cleaning prior to galvanizing. Trichloroethylene degreases more thoroughly and several times faster than alkaline cleaners and requires smaller equipment that consumes less energy.
Polymers - Serves as a chain transfer agent, also known as a modifier or regulator, in the production of polyvinyl chloride.
Refrigerants - Used as a feedstock in the manufacture of mobile air refrigerants and other fluorinated chemical compounds.
