Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene)

Product Description

Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene) (Code: 06212) is a high-purity, colorless, nonflammable liquid solvent with a characteristic sweet odor. It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon widely recognized for its excellent solvent power and chemical stability. This compound is extensively used in laboratories, chemical industries, and dry-cleaning applications due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic substances.

In laboratories, Tetrachloroethylene serves as a solvent for lipids, waxes, greases, and fluorinated polymers. Industrially, it is employed in metal degreasing, dry-cleaning, and as a chemical intermediate for fluorocarbon and refrigerant production.
