Trichloroethylene (TCE) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- TCE
- Ethylene Trichloride
- Trichloroethene
- C2HCl3
Trichloroethylene supplier for industrial solvent buyers in Malaysia. Also called TCE, ethylene trichloride and trichloroethene, this clear colourless liquid with a sweet odour is used chiefly as a vapour degreasing solvent for oils and greases on metal parts.
Commercial offers are usually selected as stabilised industrial grade for metal degreasing and vapour cleaning, or as technical grade for intermediate and general solvent duty. Send the required grade, application and any assay or impurity targets with your enquiry so the quotation can match the process.
Manufacturers use TCE solvent in vapour degreasers to strip cutting oils and drawing compounds from machined parts, including complex geometries. Electronics and industrial cleaning operations may specify it for component or shop cleaning, and chemical plants may use it as a synthesis building block.
Handle trichloroethylene with suitable protective equipment and good ventilation, and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade. Send the grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about trichloroethylene
Is trichloroethylene the same as TCE?
Yes. TCE is the common trade abbreviation for trichloroethylene. The same material is also known as ethylene trichloride and trichloroethene. Confirm the grade and application in the enquiry so the offer matches the intended duty.
What is trichloroethylene used for?
TCE is mainly used as a vapour degreasing and metal-cleaning solvent for oils and greases on machined parts. It also appears as an industrial cleaning solvent and as a chemical intermediate. State the process so the grade can be matched to the duty.
Which TCE grade should I request?
Stabilised industrial grade is commonly selected for vapour degreasing and metal cleaning. Technical grade is more often requested for intermediate or general solvent use. Send the process, any stabiliser preference and the target specification with the enquiry.
What specifications matter for a trichloroethylene enquiry?
Buyers commonly confirm appearance, grade, and any assay, water or impurity limits required by the 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 trichloroethylene 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.
