Use

trichloroethylene is used widely by industry as a metal degreaser. it is especially valuable because of its cleaning properties, low flammability, and lack of a measurable flash point. trichloroethylene is an important solvent for degreasing aluminum and for cleaning sheet and strip steel prior to galvanizing. trichloroethylene also is used for cleaning liquid oxygen and hydrogen tanks. commercial trichloroethylene formulations include a stabilizer system to help prevent solvent breakdown caused by contaminants, such as acids, metal chips, and fines, and exposure to oxygen, light, and heat.trichloroethylene is also used as a solvent in some nonflammable adhesive and aerosol formulations, and as a low temperature heat-transfer medium. other applications of trichloroethylene include its use as a solvent in the metal processing, electronics, printing, pulp and paper, and textile industries.
