Solvent
Perchlorethylene
CLEANING EFFECT
- Types of soiling: very high cleaning performance, especially in cases of greasy, oily or tallow-based soiling, also in cases of stubborn and coloured stains such as ink or lipstick
- Penetrates deep into the fibres and removes soiling thoroughly
- Dry cleaning prevents fibres from expanding
- Textile compatibility: suitable for all textiles with the “P” care label, very gentle on delicate materials such as wool and silk, suitable for cleaning fur
- Use in the tanning process for dissolving animal fats
- Rapid evaporation: very good drying properties, avoidance of warping and shrinking of textiles
- Limitations: only partially suitable for synthetic fibres, leather and water-soluble stains
PROCESS EFFICIENCY
- Safety: non-flammable
- Very good distillation capability: strong solvent, also in cases of very high dirt ingress
- Straightforward solvent monitoring and care
- Regulation: limit switch necessary for monitoring the solvent concentration in the working chamber
- Annual inspections: inspections of the system and the limit value transmitter (gas photometer) by experts required
COST ASPECT
- Energy efficient: solvents with very low boiling point, low temperature and vacuum in the system
- Long service life: very good distillation capability
- Regulation: requirement for a solvent balance (in the case of the use of 1 tonne or more per year - Section 31 German Federal Immission Control Ordinance [BlmSchV]-)
SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT
- Very high distillation capability: sustainable solvent with CO2 savings of up to 90%
- Regulation: no foreseeable prohibition
- Environmental risk: hazardous to groundwater; WHC 3 (highly hazardous to water)
- Hazardous substance according to transport law
