About this product
Trichloroethylene — traded as TCE or trichlor, CAS 79-01-6, C2HCl3 — is a non-flammable chlorinated solvent whose main industrial use is vapour degreasing and precision cleaning of metal components, along with extraction and process-solvent duties. We import Grade II Superior material to HG/T 2542-2014 from Shandong Befar Group Dongrui Chemical Co., Ltd. of Binzhou, Shandong, at 99.3% minimum assay against the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis, and supply it against confirmed order with dispatch across South India; packing options (MS barrels or bulk, per the Technical Data Sheet) are confirmed on enquiry. TCE ships as UN 1710, Class 6.1, Packing Group III and carries a harmonised EU classification as a Category 1B carcinogen — handle strictly per the SDS precautions and confirm its regulatory status in your market before specifying it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the full form of TCE in chemicals?
TCE stands for Trichloroethylene, also known as Trichlor, Trichloroethene, Ethylene trichloride. Its CAS number is 79-01-6. Supreme Petro Chemicals supplies Trichloroethylene (TCE) to manufacturers from Chennai.
What is the CAS number of trichloroethylene (TCE)?
Trichloroethylene, also called TCE or trichlor, carries CAS number 79-01-6 and the chemical formula C2HCl3. It is classified under HSN code 2903 22 00 for GST invoices and shipping documents.
What is trichloroethylene used for?
The main industrial use of TCE is vapour degreasing and precision cleaning of metal components. It is also used for extraction and process-solvent duties and as a chemical intermediate.
What grade and assay of trichloroethylene do you supply?
We supply Grade II Superior trichloroethylene to HG/T 2542-2014, with a minimum assay of 99.3%, imported from Shandong Befar Group Dongrui Chemical Co., Ltd. in China. Packing options (MS barrels or bulk, per the Technical Data Sheet) are confirmed on enquiry. The specification limits come from the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis; the Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet can be downloaded on this page.
What is the UN number and hazard class of trichloroethylene?
TCE ships as UN 1710, Class 6.1 (toxic), Packing Group III. It also carries a harmonised EU classification as a Category 1B carcinogen, so handle it strictly per the Safety Data Sheet and confirm its regulatory status in your market before specifying it. TCE is a non-flammable chlorinated solvent with no flash point under normal conditions.
How should trichloroethylene be stored and handled?
Use it in closed or locally extracted systems only. Store it in tightly closed original containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight, and ventilate at low level because the vapour is heavier than air and collects in pits and degreaser wells. Keep it away from strong alkalis, strong oxidisers and light metals such as aluminium and magnesium, and never expose it to flame, hot surfaces or welding arcs, where it decomposes to hydrogen chloride and phosgene. Do not cut or weld on empty drums. The shelf life is 12 months from manufacture in sealed containers. This is a summary: read the Safety Data Sheet in full before use.
