HI-TRI Trichloroethylene 79-01-6 Dow Chemical Solvents >> Chlorinated ADHESIVE A clear, heavy liquid with excellent solvency, trichloroethylene has no flash point as determined by standard test methods. Its high stability in the presence of common chemical stabilizers and low boiling point permit vapor degreasing with low heat input. Easily recycled, the solvent combines outstanding cleaning power with greater economy. Trichloroethylene is supported by closed loop transfer systems, stabilizers and employee exposure monitoring. See Services below. Coatings and adhesives sometimes require the dissolving power of chlorinated solvents to solubilize the wide variety of thermoplastic ingredients. Methylene chloride and trichloroethylene feature the rapid drying rates and low flammability that make them ideal for use in rubber cements, styrenics, polymethyl methacrylate and epoxies. A high purity solvent that contains minimum amounts of stabilizer. Primary uses are for chemical processing and blending where high levels of stabilizer may interact with other components in process. Adhesive. Provides rapid drying rates and low flammability for adhesive applications. Trichloroethylene. Clear, heavy, high purity solvent with excellent solvency. Contains minimum amounts of stabilizer. Solubilises the thermoplastic ingredients. Provides rapid drying rates and low flammability for adhesive applications.
