• Description:
  Trichloroethane and trichloroethylene are widely used solvents that are ingredients in many products, including typewriter correction fluid ("white-out"), color film cleaners, insecticides, spot removers, fabric-cleaning solutions, adhesives, and paint removers. They are used extensively in industry as degreasers. Trichloroethane is available in two isomeric forms, 1,1,2- and 1,1,1-, with the latter (also known as methyl chloroform) being the more common. Tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene) is another related solvent that is used widely in the dry cleaning industry. Description provided by NIOSH
