A liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CHCl:CCl2.
Trichloroethylene (often shortened to trike) was the most widely-used degreasing solvent but has recently been classified as a carcinogen. It is now being replaced by other, less harmful solvents or completely different cleaning systems. Insoluble in water and non-inflammable.
Properties: | Melting point | -85°C |
Boiling point | 87°C | |
Relative density | 1.46 (Water = 1) | |
Vapour density | 4.5 (Air = 1) |
