Trichloroethylene (TCE)
CAS No 79-01-6The classic chlorinated solvent of vapour-phase degreasing systems.
Methylene Chloride
Non-flammable, very strongly solvating chlorinated solvent with a low boiling point.
Product description
Methylene chloride is used in paint stripping, polyurethane foam production and extraction because it carries no flammability risk and has exceptional solvency. Its low boiling point makes it easy to remove from the process. Its use is restricted in many countries, so current regulations and exposure limits must be reviewed before deployment.
Application areas
- Paint and varnish stripper formulations
- Blowing agent in polyurethane foam production
- Oil and flavour extraction
- Metal part degreasing
- Dissolving adhesives and resins
Packaging and delivery
Supplied in drums and 1000 L IBC totes. Pack type and quantity are confirmed at quotation.
