Features Of Dow Tetrachloroethylene

  1. High chemical purity (>99.9% typical) ensures consistent performance in precision industrial processes.

  2. Non-flammable and thermally stable, supporting safe handling and storage under standard conditions.

  3. Low surface tension and excellent solvency for oils, greases, and waxes without attacking most metals or engineering plastics.

  4. Versatile reusability via distillation, enabling closed-loop recycling in vapor degreasing systems.

  5. Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0) and negligible global warming potential (GWP < 10), aligning with environmental stewardship goals.

Typical Applications Of Dow Tetrachloroethylene

  1. Vapor degreasing of precision metal parts in aerospace and automotive manufacturing.

  2. Cold cleaning and defluxing of electronic assemblies prior to soldering or coating.

  3. Extraction solvent in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical synthesis.

  4. Carrier fluid in dry cleaning equipment for professional textile care applications.

  5. Intermediate purification step in the production of fluoropolymers and high-purity organochlorides.
