Jan 07, 2026 Leave a message

CAS 127-18-4 Perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene or PCE, is a highly versatile, volatile, and stable solvent widely used in various industries. It is a non-flammable solvent primarily used for cleaning, degreasing, and in chemical production due to its ability to dissolve organic materials.

 

What are the properties of perchloroethylene chemical (CAS 127-18-4)?

 

perchloroethylene Physical Properties:

Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid with a mild ether-like odor.

Molecular Formula: C₂Cl₄; Molecular Weight: 165.83 g/mol.

Boiling Point: 121.1 °C; Melting Point: -22.3 °C.

Density: 1.622 g/cm³ at 20 °C (heavier than water).

Flash Point: Non-flammable under normal conditions (no measurable flash point).

Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with most organic solvents.

 

pCE Chemical Properties:

High stability: Resistant to hydrolysis and oxidation under normal temperature and pressure.

Non-flammable: Does not ignite easily in air, reducing fire risks in use.

Non-polar: Has a low dielectric constant, making it ideal for dissolving non-polar organic compounds.
