What is PERC solvent (CAS 127-18-4) used for?

Professional dry cleaning
Perchloroethylene PERC solvent is the preferred choice of many dry cleaning businesses. It effectively dissolves oil, grease and tough stains from both natural and synthetic fabrics without shrinking or damaging delicate garments. Its non-flammable properties add an extra layer of safety to the cleaning process.

 

Industrial metal degreasing
PERC solvent is widely used in the aerospace, automotive and machinery industries. It removes heavy oils, greases and contaminants from metal parts, preparing them for painting, coating or machining. Its high boiling point also makes it ideal for vapour degreasing processes.

 

Chemical synthesis and manufacturing
Tetrachloroethylene PCE is a key intermediate in the production of hydrofluorocarbons (environmentally friendly refrigerants) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the core raw material for PVC plastic. It is also used as a solvent for making printing inks and paint strippers.

 

Metal Surface Treatment & Protection
PERC solvent (CAS 127-18-4) cleans precision components and electronic equipment. It also works as a chemical masking agent, which is applied to the skins of commercial and military aircraft to protect sensitive areas during processing.
