TRI CHLORO ETHYLENE (TCE) IN KENYA

Trichloro Ethylene (TCE) for Kenya is a widely used chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent for local industries in Kenya known for its excellent degreasing and cleaning properties for businesses based in Kenya. It is a clear, non-flammable liquid for customers in Kenya with a mild sweet odor for local industrial use and chemical formula C₂HCl₃ for industries in Kenya. TCE for Kenya is extensively used in various industrial solvent applications for local manufacturing and should not be confused with 1,1,1-trichloroethane for safety purposes in Kenya.

Trichloroethylene solvent for Kenya is highly effective in dissolving organic compounds, oils, and greases for local cleaning and degreasing operations in Kenya. It has been widely used since the 1920s across industries for local businesses in Kenya for metal cleaning, extraction processes, and chemical manufacturing for industries based in Kenya. It is also used in oil extraction from plant materials for local food processing in Kenya such as soy, coconut, and palm, as well as in coffee decaffeination and flavor extraction for local food and beverage industries in Kenya.

Historically, TCE for Kenya was used as an inhalation anesthetic for medical use before being replaced by safer alternatives for healthcare in Kenya. Today, it is primarily used as an industrial degreasing solvent for local manufacturing and engineering units in Kenya and in the production of refrigerants and chemical intermediates for industries based in Kenya.

Uses:

• 1. We supply Trichloro Ethylene (TCE) as a key industrial raw material used in dry cleaning, metal degreasing, and solvent cleaning processes. More than 80% of TCE is used for removing grease from metal components. It is also widely used in adhesives, paint removers, correction fluids, and spot removers, as well as in the manufacturing of fluorocarbon refrigerants.
• 2. TCE is essential in industries such as electroplating, steel manufacturing, machinery repair, pulp & paper, rubber, and semiconductor manufacturing. It is used for cold cleaning, vapor degreasing, and de-inking processes, ensuring high efficiency and precision cleaning.

Advantages:

• 1. High boiling point (87°C) and low flammability make TCE a safe and effective industrial solvent with excellent cleaning efficiency.
• 2. Used as a chemical intermediate in PVC production and as a feedstock for hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants.
• 3. Suitable for non-flammable adhesive formulations and low-temperature heat transfer applications.
• 4. Safety Note: Trichloro Ethylene (TCE) is a toxic chemical and must be handled with care. Exposure may affect the nervous system, liver, kidneys, and respiratory system. Always follow proper MSDS safety guidelines during handling and storage.
