What is perchloroethylene PCE solvent?
Perchlorethylene (CAS 127-18-4) is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C2Cl4. It is also known as tetrachloroethylene. It belongs to the halogen alkene family as it has carbon – carbon double bond and halogen atoms. Its IUPAC name is tetrachloroethene. In abbreviated form it can be written as PERC or PCE. PCE/Perchloroethylene is used as solvent for many organic materials in various reactions.
What is the use of perchloroethylene PCE solvent? - CAS 127-18-4
1. Dry Cleaning
Perchlorethylene PCE solvent is the top choice for professional dry cleaning, thanks to its non-flammable trait and strong stain-removing power. It cleans both natural and synthetic fabrics effectively without causing damage or shrinkage.
2. Steam Degreasing
Industries like aerospace, automotive, and home appliance manufacturing depend on PCE solvent for steam degreasing metal parts. Its high boiling point makes it perfect for vapor degreasing processes-more PCE solvent vapor condenses on metal surfaces than other solvents, ensuring thorough cleaning.
Perchlorethylene PCE solvent easily dissolves waxes and works well at high temperatures, so it's ideal for cleaning.
3. Chemical Solvent in Manufacturing
CAS 127-18-4 PCE solvent plays a vital role in modern manufacturing as a versatile solvent. It is widely used to process fabrics, silicones, and rubber materials. It also acts as an extractant in printing ink production and paint stripper formulations.
4. Production of Refrigerants
For several decades, perchloroethylene has been used to produce fluorinated compounds such as refrigerants. Its stability, dielectric properties, and low surface tension make it an ideal candidate for refrigerant production
