What industries use PERC Perchloroethylene (CAS 127-18-4)?

Perc Perchloroethylene also known as PCE or tetrachloroethylene. It is a colourless, non-flammable liquid that is primarily used for degreasing metals such as brakes, engines, and wire. It is used in industrial settings and also for cleaning fabrics.

What Are The Properties Of Perc Perchloroethylene?

Perc CAS 127-18-4 is a colorless, transparent liquid with a strong chlorine odor.

1. Solubility: Perchloroethylene is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, ethers, and hydrocarbons, but its solubility is relatively low.

2. Chemical Stability: Tetrachloroethylene is relatively stable at room temperature and does not react with most common chemicals. However, it may decompose or burn under high temperatures, direct sunlight, and strong oxidizing agents.

3. Toxicity: PERC/PCE has some toxicity and can enter the human body through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion, causing damage to the respiratory system, liver, and central nervous system.

What industries use PERC Perchloroethylene (CAS 127-18-4)?

Industries that use perchloroethylene (PERC) include dry cleaning and laundry services, chemical manufacturing, and metal degreasing.

1. Dry Cleaning: Its most famous use is for cleaning fabrics, as it effectively removes greases and oils without damaging textiles.
2. Metal Degreasing: PERC is extensively used to clean and degrease metal parts in industrial manufacturing.
3. Chemical Intermediate: Perchloroethylene (CAS 127-18-4) serves as a raw material (feedstock) in the production of other chemicals, notably hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants.
4. Other Applications: PCE has been used in paint removers, printing inks, and aerosol formulations.
