Trichloroethylene in Industrial Degreasing

Trichloroethylene has been the workhorse chlorinated solvent in metal manufacturing for decades. Its high solvency for oils, greases, and waxes, combined with its non-flammability and high boiling point relative to DCM, makes it ideal for vapor-degreasing applications. It is also the chemical precursor for HFC-134a refrigerant. Global regulatory trends are increasingly restricting its use; Terracore can advise on alternatives for specific applications.

Supply and Compliance

We supply TCE in 200 L steel drums and 1,000 L IBCs with full TDG documentation. Buyers are required to confirm end-use application in writing. SDS covering cancer hazard classification, exposure limits, and PPE requirements is provided.

Applications

  • Metal parts degreasing
  • Aerosol propellant formulations
  • Textile scouring and cleaning
  • Chemical intermediate for HFC-134a
  • Adhesive and rubber solvent
  • Industrial equipment cleaning
