Perchloroethylene

Introduction:

It is a colorless liquid widely used for dry cleaning of fabrics; hence it is sometimes called “dry-cleaning fluid.”
It has a sweet odor detectable by most people at a concentration of 1 part per million (1 ppm). Worldwide production
was about 1 million metric tons (980,000 long tons; 1,100,000 short tons) in 1985.[3]

Application:

Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials. Otherwise it is volatile, highly stable, and nonflammable. For these reasons, it is widely used in dry cleaning. It is also used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries, usually as a mixture with other chlorocarbons. It appears in a few consumer products including paint strippers and spot removers. It is used in neutrino detectors where a neutrino interacts with a neutron in the chlorine atom and converts it to a proton to form argon.

N-Propyl Acetate

Introduction:

N-Propyl Acetate is a chemical compound used as a solvent and an example of an ester. This clear, colorless liquid is known by its characteristic odor of pears. Due to this fact, it is commonly used in fragrances and as a flavor additive. It is formed by the esterification of acetic acid and 1-propanol (known as a condensation reaction), often
via Fischer–Speier esterification, with sulfuric acid as a catalyst and water produced as a byproduct.

Application:

N-Propyl Acetate mainly used as solvent in printing inks, especially in flexographic and special screen printing inks, also used as a safe and pro-environment solvent for food package printing ink industry and used in PTA(purified tereph-thalic acid) industry. With strong ability to dissolve many natural and synthetic resins (e.g. cellulose nitrate, acrylates, alkyd resin) Coatings for automotive and plastic Solvents for cosmetics and personal care, for fragrances.
