Perchloroethylene Industrial Grade Tetrachloroethylene 000127-18-4 Dow Chemical Solvents >> Chlorinated ADHESIVE Known also as perc or tetrachlroethylene, Perchloroethylene is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinctive, somewhat ether-like odor. It is non flammable, having no measurable flashpoint or flammable limits in air. Effective over a wide range of applications, perchloroethylene 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. A general-purpose solvent used for formulations, blending, and other miscellaneous uses. Minimal amount of stabilizer allows for a wide range of applications. Adhesive. Provides rapid drying rates and low flammability for adhesive applications. Perchloroethylene. Clear, colorless liquid with a distinctive, somewhat ether-like odor. Contains minimal amount of stabilizer. Used in a wide range of applications. Solubilises the thermoplastic ingredients. Provides rapid drying rates and low flammability for adhesive applications.
