chemical properties | Trichlorethylene (TCE) is a clear, colorless, nonflammable (at room temperature) stable toxic liquid with a chloroform-like odor (ATSDR, 2011). It is slightly soluble in water, soluble in fats and oils and common organic solvents, and has a boiling point of 87°C (190 F). On contact with air, it slowly decomposes to form phosgene, hydrogen chloride and dichloroacetyl chloride. Trichlorethylene becomes corrosive in contact with water and forms dichloroacetic acid and hydrochloric acid. Soluble in methanol, ether and acetone. Trichlorethylene is also known as trichlorethylene, acetylene trichloride, 1-chloro-2,2-dichloroethylene and trichlorethylene, and is often abbreviated as TRI. It is a volatile chlorinated organic hydrocarbon widely used for metal degreasing and as a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-134a) intermediate (ATSDR, 2013). It is also used in adhesives, paint stripping formulations, paints, varnishes and varnishes. In the 1930s, TCE was introduced for dry cleaning, but the practice largely ceased in the 1950s, when TCE was replaced by tetrachlorethylene (PCE). It has had many other uses in the past in cosmetics, drugs, foods, and pesticides (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2011). It is an environmental contaminant that has been detected in air, groundwater, surface water, and soil (U.S. EPA, 2011; NRC, 2006). |
chemical properties | Trichlorethylene, a colorless (usually tinted blue), nonflammable, noncorrosive liquid with the "sweet" odor characteristic of certain chlorinated hydrocarbons. Odor threshold is 25-50 ppm. |
physical properties | Clear, colorless, watery liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Odor threshold concentrations determined in air are 21.4 ppm v (Leonardos et al., 1969) and 3.9 ppm v (Nagata and Takeuchi, 1990). The average minimum detectable odor threshold concentrations in 60°C water and 40°C air were 10 and 2.6 mg/L, respectively (Alexander et al., 1982). |
use | Trichlorethylene is used as a solvent, dry cleaning, degreasing, and in limited use as a surgical anesthetic. |
use | A chlorinated hydrocarbon used as a cleaner or solvent for metals, oils, resins, sulfur, and as a degreaser for gemstones. It can cause irritant contact dermatitis, generalized rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, pustular or bullous rash, and scleroderma. |
use | Solvent for fats, waxes, resins, oils, rubber, paints and varnishes. Solvent for cellulose esters and ethers. Used for solvent extraction in many industries. In degreasing, dry cleaning. Used in the manufacture of organic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, chloroacetic acid, etc. |
definition | ChEBI: A member of the vinyl chloride class in which ethylene is substituted with chlorine groups at positions 1, 1, and 2. |
production method | TCE has been in commercial use for nearly 60 years. TCE is used as a solvent due to its powerful ability to dissolve fats, greases and waxes. It has been widely used in the dry cleaning industry, as a metal degreaser, as well as in the electronic components industry, where workers have been observed using it as a cleaning solvent without any protective equipment, resulting in uncontrolled skin contact and inhalation exposure. |
general instructions | A clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Denser than water, slightly soluble in water. Nonflammable. Used as solvents, fumigants, in the manufacture of other chemicals, and many other uses. |
air and water reaction | Slightly soluble in water. |
reactive profile | Trichlorethylene has been experimentally determined to be explosive. A mixture of finely divided barium metal and a variety of halogenated hydrocarbons has the ability to explode. Specifically, shock susceptibility tests have shown that granular barium is explosive when in contact with fluorotrichloromethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, or tetrachloroethylene (ASESB Pot. Incid. 39. 1968 ; Chem. Eng. News 46(9):38. 1968). Trichlorethylene It has been experimentally determined that beryllium powder mixed with carbon tetrachloride or with trichlorethylene flashes or sparks when struck violently (ASESB Pot. Incid. 39. 1968). Mixtures of magnesium powder with trichlorethylene or carbon tetrachloride can flash or spark under severe impact (ASESB Pot. Incid, 1968-39). |
health hazard | Toxic effects exhibited by humans after inhalation of trichlorethylene vapor include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, and visual impairment. Exposure to 1000 ppm for 2 hours affects visual perception. Higher concentrations can produce anesthetic effects. Massive exposure may result in death from respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. Rats exposed to concentrations of 8,000 ppm can be fatal within 4 hours. Long-term exposure resulted in increased kidney and liver weight in test animals. Symptoms of oral trichlorethylene poisoning are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach upset. However, acute oral toxicity is low. Theoretical LD50 values for mice are in the range of 2500 mg/kg. Trichlorethylene is metabolized into trichloroacetic acid, which is excreted in the urine. Although trichlorethylene is less toxic, its metabolite trichloroethanol and its oxidative degradation products phosgene, COCl2 and chlorine pose serious unintended health hazards. Kawakami and Associates (1988) reported a case of Steven-Johnson syndrome in a printing plant worker. In another case, a stove in a metal degreasing workplace caught fire, producing phosphorus genes and inhaling chlorine gas, causing difficulty in breathing, fever, and fatigue. Trichlorethylene has been shown to be carcinogenic in experimental animals. Oral administration produces liver tumors, while inhalation causes lung and blood tumors in mice and rats. |

Industrial applications | Trichlorethylene is widely used as a metal degreasing agent in industry. It is especially valuable for its cleaning properties, low flammability and lack of a measurable flash point. Trichlorethylene is also used as a chemical process intermediate in the production of fluorides and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It has been used worldwide for over 70 years. It is a colorless, volatile liquid and an unsaturated aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbon. In the United States, it is produced by Dow Chemical Company and PPG Industries. In 1998, U.S. demand was about 171 million pounds (77,700 metric tons), of which about 15 million pounds (6,800 metric tons) were imported. Exports were approximately 84 million pounds (38,000 metric tons). Trichlorethylene usage in 1999 can be broken down into the following categories: Chemical intermediates (~54%) Metal cleaning and degreasing (-42%) Others (~4%) High-purity trichlorethylene Used as a synthetic refrigerant Hydrofluoride Raw material for hydrocarbon 134a. In the process, the trichlorethylene molecules are destroyed, forming new fluorinated compounds. The advantages of trichlorethylene in metal cleaning include the ability to degrease more thoroughly and several times faster than alkaline cleaners, and compatibility with smaller appliances that consume less energy. Trichlorethylene is an important solvent for cleaning steel sheets and strips before aluminum degreasing and galvanizing. Trichlorethylene is also used to clean liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks. Commercial trichlorethylene formulations contain a stabilizer system to help prevent solvolysis caused by contaminants such as acids, metal fragments and fines, and exposure to oxygen, light and heat. Trichlorethylene is also used as a solvent in some nonflammable adhesives and aerosol formulations, and as a low-temperature heat transfer medium. Other applications of trichlorethylene include use as a solvent in the metal processing, electronics, printing, pulp and paper, and textile industries. |
Contact allergens | Trichlorethylene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon used as a detergent or solvent for metals, oils, resins, sulfur, and as a general degreasing agent. It can cause irritant contact dermatitis, generalized rash, Stevens-Johnson-like syndrome, pustular or bullous rash, scleroderma, and neurologic and hepatic disorders. |

environmental fate | biology. Microbial degradation of trichlorethylene by sequential dehalogenation produces cis- and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene and vinyl chloride (Smith and Dragun, 1984). Anoxic microcosms in sediment and water degrade trichlorethylene to 1,2-dichloroethylene and then to vinyl chloride (Barrio-Lage et al., 1986). Trichlorethylene was anaerobically degraded to 1,2-dichloroethylene in soil samples collected from Des Moines, Iowa. No 1,1-dichloroethylene production was observed in this study (Kleopfer et al., 1985). surface water. The estimated half-life of trichlorethylene (3.2 μg/L) in experimental marine ecosystems during spring (8–16 °C), summer (20–22 °C) and winter (3–7 °C) is 28, 13 , and 15 d, respectively (Wakeham et al., 1983). In laboratory experiments, the volatilization half-life of trichlorethylene was about 1.25 h in a stirred water container (outer dimensions 22 x 10 x 21 cm) at 23 °C and an air velocity of 0.20 m/sec. (Kläpffer et al., 1982). Photolytic. Under smog conditions, phosgene, dichloroacetyl chloride, and formyl chloride are produced by indirect photolysis of OH radicals (Howard, 1990). These compounds are readily hydrolyzed to HCl, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and dichloroacetic acid (Morrison and Boyd, 1971). Dichloroacetic acid and hydrogen chloride have been reported as aqueous photolysis products (Dilling et al., 1975). Reported rate constants for the reaction of trichlorethylene with OH radicals in the atmosphere: 1.2 x 10 -12 cm 3 /mol?s at 300 K (Hendry and Kenley, 1979), 2 x 10 -12 cm 3 /molecule?s (Howard, 1976), 2.36 x 10 -12 cm 3 /mol?s at 298 K (Atkinson, 1985) ), 2.86 x 10 -12 cm 3 /mol?s at 296 K (Edney et al., 1986 ); NO3: 2.96 x 10 -16 cm 3 /molecule? sec, 296 K (Atkinson et al., 1988). Chemistry/Physics. Trichlorethylene (1 mg/L) has an evaporation half-life of 18.5 minutes in water at an average depth of 6.5 cm using a shallow-pitch propeller stirrer at 200 rpm at 25 °C (Dilling, 1977). |
metabolic pathway | From the photooxidative reaction medium (1) of trichlorethylene, the formation of dichloroacetyl chloride, CO, phosgene and pentachloroethane and their conversion to the final product CO2 was determined. Through the second TiO2 photocatalyst reaction (2), trichloroacetaldehyde, dichloroacetyl chloride, CO, and phosgene were observed along with the newly identified intermediates oxalyl chloride, trichloroacetyl chloride, and trichloroacetic acid. |
