Trichloroethylene: A stable, low boiling-point colorless liquid, toxic if inhaled. Used as a solvent or metal degreasing agent, and in other industrial applications.

 


Trichloroethylene (TCE) - C2HCl3, this is an industrial solvent used primarily for vapor degreasing and cold cleaning.

Trichloroethylene (TCE)
A volatile organic compound that is often used an industrial degreasing solvent. It is toxic and is listed as a cancer-causing chemical under Proposition 65.

Trichloroethylene (TCE): A stable, colorless liquid with a low boiling point. TCE has many industrial applications, including use as a solvent and as a metal degreasing agent.

Solvents include alcohols, aldehydes, benzene, toluene, glycol ethers, trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), formaldehyde and carbon tetrachloride.

NAPLS: Nonaqueous phase liquids; i.e., chemical solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE) or carbon tetrachloride - often toxic. Many of the most problematic NAPLs are DNAPLs - dense nonaqueous phase liquids.

Chlorinated Solvents: Organic solvents containing chlorine atoms. Examples include methylene chloride, perchloroethylene and 1,1,1 trichloroethylene used as cleaning agents.

Fenton's Reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide and an iron catalyst that is used to oxidize contaminants or waste waters. It can destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE).
