PERCHLOROETHYLENE Chemical Compatibility

Perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene, is a chlorinated solvent with the chemical formula C2Cl4. It is a colorless, non-flammable liquid used primarily in dry cleaning and as a degreasing agent for metals. Perchloroethylene is also employed in the manufacture of fluorinated compounds and as a solvent in various industrial applications. Handling requires caution due to its potential health effects, including respiratory and skin irritation, and its environmental impact. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area and adherence to safety protocols are essential to ensure safe usage.
