APPLICATION
Tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene or PCE, has a wide range of applications in various industries. Some of its common applications include:
Dry Cleaning: Tetrachloroethylene is primarily used as a solvent in the dry cleaning industry. Its ability to dissolve and remove stains from fabrics makes it an effective cleaning agent for delicate materials such as silk and wool.
Metal Cleaning and Degreasing: Due to its excellent degreasing properties, tetrachloroethylene is used as a solvent for cleaning metal surfaces. It effectively removes oils, greases, and other contaminants from metals during industrial processes such as metal fabrications, machinery maintenance, and metal component manufacturing.
Electronic Component Cleaning: Tetrachloroethylene is employed as a cleaning solvent for electronic components such as printed circuit boards. It helps in removing flux residues, oils, and dirt from the components without causing damage.
Chemical Synthesis: Tetrachloroethylene serves as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It is used in the synthesis of fluorocarbon compounds, dyes, and polymers, among other organic compounds.
Solvent for Extraction Processes: This compound is utilized as a solvent for extraction processes, specifically in the pharmaceutical and herbal industries. It aids in separating and purifying active ingredients from plant materials.
Adhesive and Aerosol Industry: Tetrachloroethylene is utilized as a solvent in the production of adhesives and aerosol products. It aids in dissolving and dispersing various ingredients for formulating adhesive products and spray paints.
