About Perchloroethylene (PERC)

Buy perchloroethylene (PCE or PERC, CAS 127-18-4) from Alliance Chemical in Technical and ACS grades. PERC is a dense chlorinated solvent used in approved industrial degreasing, dry-cleaning, extraction, laboratory, and precision-cleaning workflows.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes Perchloroethylene Technical Grade and Perchloroethylene ACS Grade. Select grade based on purity needs, validated process requirements, and applicable regulatory and customer restrictions.

Common Applications

  • Vapor degreasing and precision cleaning: PERC is used in selected metal cleaning and vapor degreasing systems where a higher boiling chlorinated solvent is specified.
  • Dry-cleaning and textile workflows: PERC is historically associated with dry-cleaning systems and related solvent processes where use remains permitted.
  • Laboratory solvent use: ACS Grade PERC supports reagent and analytical workflows where high-purity chlorinated solvent is required.
  • Industrial extraction and process use: PERC can serve as a dense, non-aqueous process solvent in validated applications with proper exposure and waste controls.

Grade & Selection Notes

Choose Technical Grade PERC for industrial solvent applications where the process specification allows it. Choose ACS Grade for reagent or analytical requirements. Confirm current regulatory status and end-use eligibility before ordering.

Safety & Handling

PERC is a hazardous chlorinated solvent. Use ventilation, exposure monitoring where required, compatible containers, PPE, and approved waste handling. Keep away from strong oxidizers and incompatible materials. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.

Why Buy From Alliance Chemical

Alliance Chemical can support eligible PERC orders with SDS and documentation. Order review may be required based on use, quantity, and destination.

Is perchloroethylene the same as PERC or PCE?
Yes. PERC and PCE are common abbreviations for perchloroethylene.
What is the difference between Technical and ACS PERC?
Technical Grade is used for industrial applications. ACS Grade is selected for reagent or analytical use with tighter purity requirements.
Is PERC regulated?
Yes. PERC is subject to safety, environmental, and use-specific rules. Confirm current requirements before purchase or use.
Does PERC require special handling?
Yes. Use ventilation, PPE, compatible storage, and approved waste controls, and review the SDS before use.
