High Quality Trichloroethylene (TCE) was banned or restricted in many countries due to its toxicity, carcinogenic potential, and environmental impact. Despite bans in consumer applications, TCE is still used in controlled industrial settings such as metal degreasing, precision cleaning, and chemical synthesis under strict safety regulations.
What Is Trichloroethylene (CAS 79-01-6)?
High purity Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₂HCl₃. This versatile industrial chemical offers superior dissolving power for oils, greases, and organic compounds. Its low water solubility (0.1 g/100 mL) and distinctive sweet, chloroform-like odor make it easily identifiable in industrial applications.
Common Synonyms:
- Ethylene trichloride
- Trichloroethene
- 1,1,2-Trichloroethylene
- Triclene
