Description and Uses
1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCE) was first identified in 1840 by Henri Victor Regnault, a French chemist and physicist. 1,1,1- TCE is a synthetic chemical that is released to the environment primarily by human industrial activity such as by-process and fugitive emissions during its manufacture, formulation, and use in both consumer and industrial products, which can then undergo thermal and photochemical chlorination. 1,1,1-TCE was originally introduced as a replacement for other chlorinated and flammable solvents like carbon tetrachloride. Although trichloroethane was formerly used extensively in a range of industrial applications and consumer products, including such products as adhesives and adhesive cleaners, lubricants, general purpose liquid cleaners and spray degreasers, oven cleaners, spot removers, shoe polish, and fabric finishes, and as a precursor for hydrofluorocarbons, it is no longer used in common household products. 1,1,1-TCE was one of the compounds addressed by the Montreal Protocol in 1987, which stipulates that the production and consumption of these potentially ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere were to be phased out. Under this agreement, the final phase out for developed countries for 1,1,1-TCE was 1996, with selected exceptions for existing stocks and essential uses; developing countries have until 2015 for their ban to take effect.
METHYL CHLOROFORM is used in industrial applications as a solvent and a degreasing agent.
