Trichloroethylene (TCE) Technical Grade
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. Primarily used as a solvent, its high degree of non-flammability and lipophilicity, as well as its ability to depress the central nervous system, make it an ideal chemical for various industrial applications.
Ensure adequate ventilation while handling TCE. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and open flames.
TCE provides effective cleaning action, high evaporation rate, and excellent stability. It is the preferred solvent for a wide range of industrial applications due to its non-flammability and high solvency power.
