Perchloroethylene (PCE), also known as Tetrachloroethylene, is a vital industrial solvent, particularly in dry cleaning and metal degreasing operations. While its efficacy is undeniable, its classification as a toxic substance necessitates a rigorous approach to safety. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a responsible chemical manufacturer and supplier from China, is committed to ensuring that our clients understand and implement best practices for handling PCE safely. Our goal is to facilitate the buy and use of this essential chemical while prioritizing worker well-being and environmental protection.

Effective industrial use of Perchloroethylene relies heavily on understanding its properties and potential hazards. PCE is known for its strong solvency and is widely used for its ability to remove grease, oil, and other contaminants from various materials. Its controlled evaporation is beneficial in processes like vapor degreasing, and its non-flammable nature adds a layer of safety compared to other solvents. However, PCE is a volatile organic compound and an occupational hazard. Exposure can occur through inhalation, skin absorption, or ingestion. Consequently, adherence to safety protocols is paramount.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. strongly advises all users to implement comprehensive safety measures. This includes ensuring that all work areas are equipped with adequate ventilation systems, preferably local exhaust ventilation, to minimize airborne concentrations of PCE. The use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is non-negotiable. This typically involves chemical-resistant gloves made from materials like Viton® or PVA, splash-proof goggles or face shields, and respiratory protection equipped with cartridges suitable for organic vapors. Chemical-resistant clothing, such as coveralls, should also be worn to prevent skin contact.

Furthermore, proper storage and disposal of Perchloroethylene are critical. PCE should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Adherence to local, national, and international regulations regarding the disposal of hazardous waste is essential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. encourages clients to consult the latest safety data sheets (SDS) and regulatory guidelines. By prioritizing safety, businesses can leverage the benefits of PCE while mitigating risks.
