What is the use of PCE Chemical (CAS 127-18-4)?

1. PCE Chemical is mainly used as a metal degreasing solvent, and also used as a deworming agent. Tetrachloroethylene can be used as a fat extractant, fire extinguishing agent and smoke screen agent, etc., and can also be used to synthesize trichloroethylene and fluorine-containing organic compounds.

2. Perchloroethylene is widely used as a dry cleaning agent for natural and synthetic fibers. Also used as metal degreasing detergent and general solvent, organic synthesis intermediates, etc.

3. Used as a standard substance for chromatographic analysis.

4. Insect repellent and fat extractant used in adhesives, and also used in organic synthesis.

 

What are the health effects of PCE perchloroethylene?

The low levels of perchloroethylene that may be present in air, water and food are not reported to cause symptoms. The highest exposures to perc tend to occur in industrial settings. Higher levels of perc exposure can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat and/or respiratory system. Short-term exposure to high levels of perc can affect the central nervous system and cause unconsciousness and death, according to NIH.

 

Can you be exposed to perc from your dry-cleaned clothing?

People who wear dry cleaned clothing may be exposed to perc at levels that are slightly higher than what is normally found in air, but these amounts are not expected to be hazardous to the average person's health, according to ACS.
