Properties
Perchloroethylene is mainly used as a solvent, organic synthesis, metal surface cleaner and dry cleaner, desulfurizer, and heat transfer medium in industry.
It is also an intermediate for the production of trichloroethylene and fluorinated organic compounds.
Ordinary residents may be exposed to low concentrations of tetrachloroethylene through the atmosphere, food, and drinking water.
Perchloroethylene has good solubility for many inorganic and organic compounds, such as sulfur, iodine, mercuric chloride, aluminum trichloride, fat, rubber, and resin.
This solubility is widely used as a metal degreasing and cleaning agent, paint remover, dry cleaner, rubber solvent, ink solvent, liquid soap, and degreasing agent for high-end fur and feathers;
Perchloroethylene is also used as an anthelmintic for hookworms and ginger leaf worms; Textile processing and finishing agents.
