Trichloroethylene

Description

 trichloroethylene 

Trichloroethylene, is a kind of organic compounds, chemical formula for C2HCl3, ethylene molecules in the 3 hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine and generated compounds, is a colorless transparent liquid, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, miscible soluble in most organic solvents, mainly used as solvents, can also be used for degreasing, freezing, pesticides, spices, rubber industry, washing fabric, etc.

Clear, colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Almost insoluble in water (25℃, 0. llg/lOOg), subjected to ultraviolet light or when burning or heating decomposition to produce toxic phosgene and corrosive hydrochloric acid smoke vapor high concentration will burn at high temperatures. Heat breaks down, releasing toxic chlorides. Heat to 250-600℃, and iron, copper, zinc, aluminum contact to produce phosgene. Can react violently with barium, nitrous oxide, lithium, magnesium, liquid oxygen, ozone, potassium hydroxide, potassium nitrate, sodium, sodium hydroxide, titanium. In case of open fire, high heat energy caused combustion explosion. Chemical reactions can occur in contact with strong oxidants.
