About Trichloroethylene (TCE)

Buy trichloroethylene (TCE, CAS 79-01-6) from Alliance Chemical in Technical and ACS grades for eligible industrial, laboratory, and process applications. TCE is a chlorinated solvent historically used for vapor degreasing, extraction, asphalt testing, and precision cleaning workflows.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes Trichloroethylene Technical Grade and Trichloroethylene ACS Grade. Availability may depend on order details, end use, customer qualification, and current regulatory requirements.

Common Applications

  • Vapor degreasing: TCE has been used for metal-part degreasing in closed or controlled systems where the use remains permitted.
  • Laboratory solvent work: ACS Grade TCE supports reagent, extraction, and analytical workflows where specified.
  • Asphalt and pavement testing: Some testing and reclamation workflows use chlorinated solvents for binder extraction or analysis.
  • Precision cleaning: TCE may be selected for legacy or validated cleaning processes where alternatives have not been qualified.

Grade & Selection Notes

Use Technical Grade TCE for industrial process applications where the use is permitted and the specification allows it. Use ACS Grade when reagent purity is required. Confirm current federal, state, customer, and site-specific restrictions before ordering or using TCE.

Safety & Handling

TCE is a hazardous chlorinated solvent and requires strict exposure control, ventilation, PPE, and waste management. Review the SDS and confirm regulatory eligibility before purchase or use. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.

Why Buy From Alliance Chemical

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