Trichloroethylene is an effective\u00a0solvent\u00a0for a variety of\u00a0organic\u00a0materials.<\/p>\n
When it was first widely produced in the 1920s, trichloroethylene’s major use was to extract\u00a0vegetable oils\u00a0from plant materials such as\u00a0soy,\u00a0coconut, and\u00a0palm. Other uses in the food industry included\u00a0coffee\u00a0decaffeination\u00a0and the preparation of flavoring extracts from\u00a0hops\u00a0and\u00a0spices. It has also been used for drying out the last bit of water for production of 100% ethanol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Other names: 1,1,2-Trichloroethene, 1,1-Dichloro-2-Chloroethylene, 1-Chloro-2,2-Dichloroethylene, Acetylene Trichloride, TCE, Trethylene, Triclene, Tri, Trimar, Trilene, HCC-1120<\/strong><\/p>\n The\u00a0chemical compound\u00a0trichloroethylene\u00a0is a\u00a0halocarbon\u00a0commonly used as an industrial\u00a0solvent. It is a clear non-flammable liquid with a sweet smell. It should not be confused with the similar 1,1,1-trichloroethane, which is commonly known as\u00a0chlorothene.<\/p>\n The\u00a0IUPAC\u00a0name is\u00a0trichloroethene. Industrial abbreviations include\u00a0TCE,\u00a0trichlor,\u00a0Trike,\u00a0Tricky\u00a0and\u00a0tri. It has been sold under a variety of trade names. Under the trade names\u00a0Trimar\u00a0and\u00a0Trilene, trichloroethylene was used as a volatile\u00a0anesthetic\u00a0and as an inhaled obstetrical\u00a0analgesic\u00a0in millions of patients.<\/p>\n CAS: 79-01-6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6285,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[199,205,208,209,211,202],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13249","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-all-products","7":"product_cat-metal-chemicals","8":"product_cat-wood-chemicals","9":"product_cat-construction-industry","10":"product_cat-typographic-chemicals","11":"product_cat-household-chemicals","13":"first","14":"outofstock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-variable","19":"has-default-attributes","20":"rtwpvg-product"},"yoast_head":"\n
