What is Perchlorethylene, and how is it identified?

Perchlorethylene, also called tetrachloroethylene, is a chlorinated solvent identified by CAS 127-18-4 and molecular formula C2Cl4. It is supplied as a clear, colorless, volatile liquid for industrial use. Confirm the CAS number, purity, stabilizer content, water content, and offered grade on the batch analysis.

Where is Perchlorethylene mainly used?

It is mainly used in industrial cleaning, metal degreasing, solvent-based maintenance, and selected manufacturing operations requiring a chlorinated solvent. It is a bulk industrial raw material, not a consumer product. Confirm equipment compatibility, residue requirements, and local regulatory restrictions before use.

Which specifications should be checked before ordering?

Confirm appearance, purity or assay, water content, acidity, stabilizer type and concentration, non-volatile residue, and color. Industrial and catalyst or reagent grades differ in purity and residue limits, so the target grade should be specified before sampling.

How should Perchlorethylene be stored and handled?

Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed original containers, away from heat, ignition sources, strong oxidizers, and incompatible materials. Use appropriate solvent-resistant PPE, local exhaust ventilation, and spill controls. Confirm the offered package, lot traceability, and hazardous-material transport documentation before dispatch.

Perchlorethylene CAS 127-18-4

Perchlorethylene CAS 127-18-4 is a chlorinated industrial solvent commonly supplied for applications requiring strong solvency, cleaning efficiency, and stable process performance in non-aqueous systems. It is widely used in industrial cleaning, metal degreasing, and related solvent-based operations where perchlorethylene is selected for its compatibility with established processing systems. As a supplier and manufacturer, we support bulk supply, standard packaging, and document support including COA, TDS, and SDS / MSDS. Sample discussion and industrial sourcing support can be arranged based on project requirements. Application suitability should be confirmed according to process conditions, equipment design, and regulatory requirements in the destination market.

Typical Applications

Perchlorethylene CAS 127-18-4 is commonly used in:

industrial cleaning systems
metal degreasing processes
solvent-based maintenance and process cleaning
selected manufacturing operations requiring chlorinated solvent performance

The final suitability should be confirmed according to the specific equipment, operating conditions, residue requirements, and compliance needs of the target application.

Typical Properties

Public chemical references describe perchloroethylene as a clear, colorless, volatile liquid. Exact product specifications should be confirmed against the supplied grade and technical documents.

Where a different chlorinated solvent is specified for a regulated cleaning process, Trichloroethylene is a separate industrial solvent whose selection should be reviewed against process and regulatory requirements.

Packaging

Available in standard packaging for industrial supply.
Packaging options can be discussed based on order quantity, transport mode, and handling requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in tightly closed original containers.
Follow the applicable SDS and local handling requirements during storage, transport, and use.

Documents Available

Documents can be supported upon request, including:

COA
TDS
SDS / MSDS

Supply Ability / Custom Support

We supply Perchlorethylene CAS 127-18-4 for industrial customers requiring chlorinated solvent sourcing for cleaning and process applications. Support can be discussed for:

bulk supply
standard packaging
document support
sample discussion
industrial sourcing coordination
