Description

Trichloroethane CAS NO 25323-89-1 is a versatile chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent known for its excellent degreasing properties and moderate evaporation rate. This compound is critical for industrial processes requiring a powerful, non-flammable cleaning agent that leaves minimal residue. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the electronics, metalworking, and precision engineering sectors for vapor degreasing, cold cleaning, and as a carrier solvent.

Application

• Vapor Degreasing: Primary solvent for removing oils, greases, and waxes from metal components and electronic parts in enclosed degreasing systems.
• Cold Cleaning: Effective for manual or ultrasonic cleaning of precision instruments and machinery parts where water-based cleaners are unsuitable.
• Carrier Solvent: Used in formulations for adhesives, coatings, and inks due to its solvency power and volatility profile.
• Metal Preparation: Essential pre-treatment step before painting, plating, or welding to ensure superior surface adhesion.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Cleaning agent for flux removal and contamination control on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and sensitive components.
• Industrial Maintenance: For cleaning and maintaining production equipment, tools, and molds in manufacturing facilities.

Quality Control

Our Trichloroethane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and impurity profiling, to meet exacting industrial specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and active metals. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
