trichloroethane
Chlorinated cleaning compound
Trichloroethane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon compound, historically used as an industrial solvent and degreasing agent.
The term usually refers to 1,1,1-trichloroethane, once common in products like typewriter correction fluid and dry cleaning solutions before being phased out for depleting the ozone layer.
