cleaning. Specific uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g. tetrachloroethylene); as paint thinners (toluene, turpentine); as nail polish removers

characteristic of other chlorinated solvents, somewhat similar to the tetrachloroethylene odor reminiscent of dry cleaners' shops. Solid tetrachloromethane

used to destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene). It was developed in the 1890s by Henry John

Tetrachloroethylene carbonate is a carbonate ester with the chemical formula C2Cl4O2CO. It is produced by the photochlorination of ethylene carbonate

reaction produces tetrachloroethylene as a byproduct and depending on the amount of chlorine fed to the reaction, tetrachloroethylene can even be the major

solvent, although other solvents such as various hydrocarbon mixtures, tetrachloroethylene and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane are also used. Most natural fibers

among the most notorious. Organochlorides such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, dichloromethane and chloroform are commonly used as solvents and
