There is a widespread need for a degreasing agent that is versatile and effective. For more than a century Trichloroethylene has been widely used and considered as an established best degreasing agent.
Trichloroethylene is also known as – Ethylene Trichloride, Trichlor, Tryke, TCE
Trichloroethylene is a relatively non-flammable, multipurpose chlorinated solvent with high stability and solvency. It is a clear, colorless liquid with somewhat a sweet odor and burning taste. It evaporates quickly into the air and miscible with most organic liquids.
As against certain confusions and mix-ups with Trichloroethane and other similar chemicals, TCE is manufactured and used extensively in most developed nations.
Metal degreasing or degreasing is a process of removal of grease and oil from a surface. It is widely used to remove oils and oil-borne soils from objects that have been stamped, machined, welded, die-cast, etc.
Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a solvent other than water. Trichloroethylene has superior degreasing properties. Because of its superior properties, it is used by dry cleaners.
Trichloroethylene is used to clean glass and medical equipment. We need the medical equipment’s clean so that it doesn’t spread any virus so we Trichlor because of good cleaning formula.
It is also used in drying electronics parts. If the electronic parts are not dried then there are chances of a short circuit in the boards. So Trichloroethylene is used in drying the electronic parts
Before soldering the electronic components onto boards we use a chemical agent name FLUX because it removes any oxides and impurities The main reason for removing flux from your board is that it causes low voltage insulation
Trichloroethylene has been widely used and considered as the best degreasing agent for extraction solvent for oils, fats, waxes
It can also be found in some household products such as glues, adhesives, paint removers, spot removers, rug cleaning fluids, paints, metal cleaners, and typewriter correction fluid.
