About Perchloroethylene (Industrial Grade)

Perchloroethylene, also known as PCE, is a non-flammable chlorinated solvent extensively used in various industrial applications. It serves primarily as a solvent for dry cleaning textiles and degreasing metals due to its ability to dissolve greases, oils, and waxes without damaging the underlying material. Handling requires caution due to its toxicological profile and environmental persistence, with adherence to regulated storage conditions essential for safety. Finstar Chemicals supplies perchloroethylene in industrial-grade quality optimized for procurement teams, stored and transported in 330 kg drums. The product is suitable for sectors focusing on textile cleaning or metal parts preparation, ensuring consistent solvent performance. Our supply chain serves key East African markets, including Kenya, with efficient logistics support to reduce downtime in manufacturing or cleaning lines. Suitable personal protective equipment and spill containment measures are mandatory when handling perchloroethylene to mitigate health and environmental risks.
