What does PERC solvent smell like?

Perchloroethylene, also known as perc, is a colorless, nonflammable liquid solvent with a sweet, ether-like odor. This characteristic odor can serve as a warning sign for exposure, but it is important to note that prolonged exposure may cause olfactory fatigue, meaning people may no longer detect the smell even when PERC concentrations are above safe limits.

 

Perchloroethylene (PERC) is a non-flammable,colorless liquid with a slightly sweet, ether-like odor.

It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with thechemical formula C2Cl4.

PERC solvent is primarily used as a solvent anddegreasing agent in various industrial processes.
