Tetrachloroethylene, Ultrapure, Spectrophotometric Grade, 99+%

Description

CAS: 127-18-4 | C2Cl4 | 165.82 g/mol

Tetrachloroethylene is used as solvent. It is involved in dry cleaning as well as in the degreasing of metal parts. It finds application as a neutrino detector. It is utilized as a paint stripper and a spot remover in consumer products. It acts as a precursor for the manufacture of other chemicals. It plays an important role in water repellants, paint removers, printing inks, glues, sealants, polishes and lubricants. As a film-forming electrolyte additive, it is used in the manufacture of lithium ion batteries and is actively involved as an extraction solvent in the determination of oil and grease in water by FT-IR.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
