Perchloroethylene (PERC / PCE) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tetrachloroethylene
- Tetrachloroethene
- PERC
- PCE Solvent
Perchloroethylene (perc) supplier for professional dry cleaning and industrial degreasing in Malaysia. Buyers also search tetrachloroethylene and PCE when they need a heavy chlorinated solvent with strong grease solvency.
Typical commercial grades cover closed-circuit dry-cleaning machines, stabilised metal-cleaning duty and tighter-purity process lots. Concentration of stabiliser packages and residual acidity are matched to the machine maker guidance on enquiry.
Garment-care plants specify perc for textile cleaning systems designed around this solvent. Engineering workshops request it for vapour degreasers that clean oil from metal parts. Selected manufacturing lines use technical material for equipment cleaning where water-based detergents are not suitable.
Tell us whether you need dry-cleaning or industrial perc, the volume and the delivery site. The quotation confirms grade, pack and documents for that requirement.

Perchloroethylene grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dry-cleaning grade perchloroethylene | clear colourless liquid | — | Commercial dry-cleaning and textile cleaning solvent duty where a PERC dry cleaning solvent is specified for grease, oil and soil removal from garments. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Stabilised industrial grade | clear colourless liquid | — | Metal degreasing and vapour degreasing where a stabilised perchloroethylene solvent is required to strip cutting oils, drawing compounds and shop soils from machined parts. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade perchloroethylene | clear colourless liquid | — | General industrial process solvent and chemical intermediate duty where a technical perchloroethylene grade matches the process specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity perchloroethylene | clear colourless liquid | — | Higher-purity liquid duty where a tighter impurity profile is required for the process or analytical target. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about perchloroethylene
Are perchloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and PERC the same product?
Yes. Perchloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and tetrachloroethene name the same chlorinated solvent. PERC and qualified PCE solvent are common trade abbreviations. Confirm the grade and application in the enquiry so the offer matches the intended duty. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and methylene chloride remain separate products.
What is perchloroethylene used for?
PERC is widely used as a commercial dry-cleaning solvent and as a metal degreasing or vapour degreasing solvent for oils and greases. It also serves as an industrial process solvent and chemical intermediate. State the process so the grade can be matched to the duty.
Which perchloroethylene grade should I request?
Dry-cleaning grade is commonly selected for garment and textile cleaning. Stabilised industrial grade is more often requested for metal and vapour degreasing. Technical and high-purity grades suit general solvent or tighter impurity needs. Send the process, any stabiliser preference and the target specification with the enquiry.
What specifications matter for a perchloroethylene enquiry?
Buyers commonly confirm appearance, grade, and any assay, water, stabiliser or impurity limits required by the dry-cleaning machine, degreaser or process. Include the current specification or critical limits so the quoted material can be checked against them.
Can packing and documents be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and any product documents needed in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
How do I get a perchloroethylene price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention any specification targets, packing preference and documentation needs so the quotation can address the full requirement. Prices are given on enquiry with a stated validity period.
