Trichloroethane | 71-55-6

Description :

Trichloroethane Supplier & Exporter for the USA

Overview

ChemicalBull is a trusted Trichloroethane supplier, manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, and exporter, providing chlorinated solvents and specialty industrial chemicals for chemical processing, metal cleaning, plastics, coatings, and other industrial applications across the USA and global markets.

Trichloroethane refers to chlorinated ethane isomers, with 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (Methyl Chloroform) being the historically important industrial solvent, identified by CAS No. 71-55-6. Because “Trichloroethane” can refer to different isomers, the exact CAS number and specification should be confirmed before purchase.

1,1,1-Trichloroethane has historically been used as an industrial solvent and degreasing agent, particularly for removing grease from metal products and for cleaning precision equipment. EPA sources also document its historical applications in textile processing, dyeing, aerosols, adhesives, coatings, inks, and other industrial processes.

For USA requirements, the regulatory status of the specific trichloroethane isomer and intended use should be verified before procurement. In particular, 1,1,2-Trichloroethane (CAS No. 79-00-5) is currently undergoing EPA risk evaluation under TSCA, while 1,1,1-Trichloroethane has significant historical regulatory restrictions.

ChemicalBull supports USA buyers with Trichloroethane sourcing, export coordination, technical documentation, and supply solutions according to the required isomer, CAS number, grade, specification, packaging, and commercial requirements.

Applications of Trichloroethane

Industrial Solvent Applications

Trichloroethane has been used as a chlorinated solvent in industrial chemical processing and solvent-based applications, subject to the specific isomer and applicable regulations.

Metal Cleaning and Degreasing

Historically, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane was widely used for metal degreasing and cleaning, including precision metal components and industrial equipment.

Precision Equipment Cleaning

1,1,1-Trichloroethane was used for cleaning precision instruments, electrical equipment, electronic components, and other manufactured parts.

Chemical Manufacturing

Certain trichloroethane isomers can serve as chemical intermediates or solvents in industrial chemical manufacturing. 1,1,2-Trichloroethane, for example, is primarily used in plastic and petrochemical manufacturing.

Plastics and Petrochemical Processing

1,1,2-Trichloroethane has applications in plastic and petrochemical manufacturing and as a building block for other chemicals.

Textile Processing

1,1,1-Trichloroethane has historically been used in textile processing and dyeing operations.

Adhesives, Coatings and Inks

Historically, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane was used as a solvent in adhesives, coatings, printing inks, and related formulations.

Buy Bulk Trichloroethane in USA

Looking for a reliable Trichloroethane supplier and exporter for USA requirements?

ChemicalBull supports sourcing of Trichloroethane according to the required isomer, CAS number, grade, purity, quantity, packaging, and delivery requirements. Buyers should specify whether they require 1,1,1-Trichloroethane or 1,1,2-Trichloroethane when requesting a quotation.

For 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (CAS 71-55-6), historical industrial applications included metal degreasing, precision cleaning, textile processing, adhesives, coatings, inks, and related solvent applications.

For 1,1,2-Trichloroethane (CAS 79-00-5), EPA identifies plastic and petrochemical manufacturing as its primary use and is currently evaluating the chemical under TSCA.

Because regulatory requirements differ by isomer and use, USA buyers should confirm the applicable regulatory status and intended use before ordering. ChemicalBull can assist with product specifications and commercial documentation for the offered grade.
