Dry Cleaner SOL / Perchloroethylene (PERC) is a widely used solvent in the dry cleaning industry due to its powerful degreasing and stain-removing properties.

Application

How PERC is Used in Dry Cleaning

1. Cleaning Process Overview:

  • Clothes are loaded into a dry cleaning machine, which looks like a large front-loading washer.

  • Instead of water and detergent, PERC is used as the cleaning solvent.

  • The solvent dissolves oil, grease, and organic stains without damaging delicate fabrics like wool, silk, or rayon.

2. Cycle Steps:

  • Wash: PERC is pumped into the drum and circulated through the clothes.

  • Extract: The solvent is drained and extracted via spinning.

  • Dry: Clothes are dried with warm air, and the solvent is collected, condensed, and recycled for reuse.

Dosage

Why PERC is Preferred (Historically):

  • Powerful cleaning agent for oils and greases

  • Non-flammable, making it safer for industrial use

  • Gentle on fabrics, preventing shrinkage and color fading

  • Recyclable within the machine, reducing waste
