Product Description
The chemical compound trichloroethylene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon commonly used as an industrial solvent. It is a clear non-flammable liquid with a sweet smell.
Trichloroethylene is an effective solvent for a variety of organic materials.
Uses: When it was first widely produced in the 1920s, trichloroethylene's major use was to extract vegetable oils from plant materials. From the 1930s through the 1970s, both in Europe and North America, trichloroethylene was used as a volatile gas anesthetic.
It has also been used as a dry cleaning solvent, although replaced in the 1950s by tetrachloroethylene. The greatest use of TCE has been as a degreaser for metal parts. TCE is also used in the manufacture of a range of fluorocarbon refrigerants.
Physiological effects: When inhaled, trichloroethylene produces central nervous system depression resulting in general anesthesia. Its high blood solubility results in a less desirable slower induction of anesthesia.
Human exposure: Some are exposed to TCE through contaminated drinking water. With a specific gravity greater than 1, trichloroethene can be present as a dense nonaqueous phase liquid if sufficient quantities are spilled in the environment.
