Key Features & Advantages
· Strong Solvency: Trichloroethylene possesses excellent dissolving power for oils, greases, waxes, and resins, making it an ideal choice for precision degreasing.
· Fast Evaporation: Rapid drying speed enables efficient processing in vapor degreasing equipment.
· Non-Flammable: Safe for use in various industrial environments with minimal fire risk under normal conditions.
· High Thermal Stability: With added stabilizers, resists decomposition during distillation and reuse.
Main Applications
· Industrial Metal Degreasing: Primary solvent for vapor and cold degreasing of metal parts in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical device manufacturing.
· Chemical Intermediate: Key raw material for producing refrigerants (e.g., HFC-134a) and other chlorinated compounds.
· Solvent Applications: Used as an extraction solvent, dry-cleaning agent, and solvent for paints, adhesives, and lubricants.
· Electronics Cleaning: Removes flux residues and contaminants from printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Safety & Regulatory Compliance
⚠️ Hazard Classification:
· Carcinogenicity: Trichloroethylene is classified as a human carcinogen (linked to kidney cancer, liver cancer, and lymphoma) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
· Health Hazards: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, or even unconsciousness. Prolonged or occupational exposure may damage the liver, kidneys, and central/peripheral nervous systems.
Handling & Storage:
· Use only with adequate ventilation (e.g., local exhaust or fume hood).
· Wear appropriate PPE: chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing.
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources, open flames, and strong oxidizers. Keep containers tightly closed.
FAQ
Q: How severe are the toxicity and carcinogenicity?
A: Classified as IARC Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans), a classification shared by the US EPA and NTP; primarily associated with renal cancer, with suspected links to liver cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Acute inhalation: dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and cardiac arrhythmias; high concentrations can lead to coma and death. Chronic exposure: liver/kidney damage, trigeminal neuropathy, association with scleroderma, and debated reproductive/developmental toxicity. Skin contact can cause drug-eruption-like dermatitis (severe exfoliative dermatitis). Decomposition products include phosgene and HCl; contact with strong bases or aluminum powder can generate explosive dichloroacetylene.
Q: Key Points for Handling and Storage
A: Operate within a fully enclosed negative-pressure system with local exhaust ventilation; implement vapor monitoring and alarm systems. PPE: Chemical-resistant suit, butyl or Viton gloves (nitrile is ineffective!), safety goggles, and an organic vapor respirator or supplied-air respirator. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizers, strong bases, and aluminum or magnesium powder. For spills, absorb with vermiculite or sand; do not flush with large amounts of water (as the substance may sink and spread); dispose of as hazardous waste.
