Perchloroethylene
Product Overview
Perchloroethylene (PERC / tetrachloroethylene) — industrial solvent for dry cleaning, metal degreasing, and chemical processing in Oman.
Detailed Description
Perchloroethylene (Tetrachloroethylene, PERC, PCE) supplier in Oman — Global Chemicals LLC supplies perchloroethylene to dry cleaning operations, metal fabrication and precision engineering companies, and industrial processors across Muscat, Sohar Industrial Area, and Oman. Perchloroethylene (C2Cl4) is a chlorinated solvent with excellent solvency for greases, oils, waxes, and fats, combined with low flammability (non-flammable), high chemical stability, and easy recoverability by distillation. In Oman, the primary applications are professional dry cleaning (PERC is the industry-standard dry cleaning solvent globally — effective, fast-drying, and non-damaging to delicate fabrics) and industrial metal degreasing (cleaning precision components in oil & gas equipment manufacturing, aerospace, and electronics). PERC is also used as an intermediate in the production of HFCs and other fluorochemicals, and as a chemical processing solvent. Due to its environmental and health profile, modern dry cleaning machines are closed-loop systems that recover and recycle PERC — reducing emissions and solvent loss. Global Chemicals LLC supplies perchloroethylene in 270kg drums. GHS-compliant SDS, handling guidelines, and waste disposal guidance provided. Customers should comply with Oman MECA environmental regulations for chlorinated solvent use and disposal.
