This document summarizes the key physical and chemical properties of perchloroethylene (PERC), a chlorinated solvent commonly used in dry cleaning. It discusses PERC's non-flammable and volatile nature, low boiling point, density higher than air, and ability to readily dissolve greases and oils. The document also notes PERC's classification as harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and outlines recommended exposure limits to prevent health risks from acute or prolonged exposure. Proper storage, handling, ventilation, and personal protective equipment are emphasized to safely use this solvent.
