TRICHLOROETHANE
Trichloroethane is a colorless, nonflammable liquid with a pungent odor similar
to chloroform. It is commonly used as a solvent and
cleaning agent in spot removers and fabric cleaners,
film cleaner, insecticides, paint
and varnish remover, degreaser, typewriter correction fluid, and as an
aerosol propellant. Trichloroethane is absorbed
by inhalation and ingestion. It is an irritant to the eyes and nose and can
result in central nervous depression and liver and kidney damage if ingested.
