Trichloroethylene (TCE) has been used since the 1920s for a variety of purposes. Today, it’s primarily known as an industrial solvent used in degreasing applications. TCE works well as a general purpose degreaser for industrial jobs, but it poses health problems to...
Most people associate carcinogens with tobacco products and air pollutants, not with industrial solvents. But some carcinogenic chemicals that cause air pollution come from these solvents, and long-term exposure to the carcinogenic substances can predispose you to...
The term “critical cleaning” refers to cleaning procedures that are critical in some way to the success of the end user. For example, aerospace solvents are formulated to perform cleaning operations on aerospace machinery. Solvents not designed for the needs of...
The possible toxic effects of the chemical Trichloroethylene (TCE) have been discussed for decades. However, the chemical plays a crucial role in producing everything from degreasing solutions to pepper spray, and most companies who use the chemical would rather not...
Flammable solvents have a low flashpoint that makes them highly incendiary. Consequently, special care must be taken when storing and using the solvents. Below, we prove the point by exploring three chemical storage issues that come with using low flashpoint solvents,...
