Evolution of Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Technology
Perchloroethylene in Dry Cleaning
• Situation: Acidic garments in dry cleaning solvents and extended solvent use
• Possible consequence: Corrosion damage and bad odour of cleaned garments
• The solution: Testing and Re-stabilisation
For a high quality, easy to handle and economical dry cleaning process, it is recommended to apply precautionary actions by frequent solvent quality monitoring:
Avoidance of acidification of the solvent
Protection from machine corrosion
Extension of solvent life-time
Avoidance of bad odour of cleaned garments
Achieving safe and economic high quality dry cleaning with consistent results
