Product Information
CAS 79-01-6 Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a commercially important polychlorinated aliphatic solvent used predominantly in dry cleaning, metal degreasing and electronics manufacturing as well as for automotive and some medical processes.
99.9% Trichloroethylene TCE is:
- A nonflammable, colorless liquid at room temperature.
- A chemical that evaporates easily into air.
- A chemical that has an ether-like odor at high concentrations; at lower levels, there is no odor to warn people that contaminants are in the air.

Applications of 99.9% Trichloroethylene solvent
Metal Degreasing
Chemical Solvent Trichloroethylene is a core degreasing agent for metal equipment and components. Due to its strong solubility for greases, it provides highly efficient cleaning and degreasing. Its non-flammability and high boiling point make it ideal for steam degreasing.
Raw Material Extraction
In the textile industry, TCE solvent is used to extract fats, greases, and waxes from cotton, wool, and other fabrics.
Refrigerant Production
Trichloroethylene CAS 79-01-6 is an important raw material for the manufacture of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants.
Functional Additives
99.9% Trichloroethylene can be added to a variety of products, including paint thinners, paint removers, cleaning wipes, carpet cleaners, adhesives, lubricants, insecticides, stain removers, and typewriter correction fluid.
Pharmaceutical Production
It is an important chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
Historical Applications
It has been used as a dry cleaning solvent and a medical anesthetic.
Safety information
CAS 79-01-6 Trichloroethylene is a potent solvent and must be handled with appropriate safety measures. Use only in well-ventilated areas or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials, such as strong oxidizers, caustics, and chemically active metals (e.g., aluminum, magnesium).
