essential information

Trichloroethylene is a compound formed by replacing three hydrogen atoms in an ethylene molecule with chlorine. Difficult to dissolve in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, etc. Trichloroethylene is a flammable liquid that poses a risk of fire and explosion when exposed to open flames and high heat. Trichloroethylene has been used as an analgesic and metal degreaser, as an extractant, fungicide, refrigerant, and as a dry cleaning agent for clothes. This substance is composed of three elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Colorless liquid with a smell similar to chloroform. Molecular formula C2-H-Cl3. Molecular weight 131.39. Relative density 1.4649 (20/4 ℃). Melting point -73 ℃. Boiling point 86.7 ℃. Flash point 32.22 ℃ (closed cup). The self ignition point is 420 ℃. The vapor density is 4.53. The vapor pressure is 13.33kPa (100mmHg at 32 ℃). The flammable limit of the mixture formed by steam and air is 8.0% to 10.5%.

application area 

Mainly used as a solvent, it can also be used for degreasing, freezing, pesticides, fragrances, rubber industry, washing fabrics, etc.

Packaging, Storage, Transportation, and Safety

Precautions for operation:
Sealed operation, strengthen ventilation. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter type gas masks (half masks), chemical safety goggles, work clothes that prevent toxic substances from penetrating, and chemical resistant gloves. Keep away from sources of fire and heat, and smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent steam leakage into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidants, reducing agents, alkalis, and metal powders. Handle with care during transportation to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equip with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and emergency response equipment for leaks. Empty containers may contain residual harmful substances.
Storage precautions:
Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. The storage temperature shall not exceed 32 ℃, and the relative humidity shall not exceed 80%. The packaging requires sealing and must not come into contact with air. It should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, alkalis, metal powders, and edible chemicals, and avoid mixing storage. Not suitable for large-scale storage or long-term storage. Equip with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and suitable containment materials.
