Dry Cleaning
From the finest silk and lace to wool and leather garments, perchloroethylene provides benefits essential to high quality dry cleaning. Efficient solvency, non-flammability and above all more than 50 years of solvent-cleaning experience make perchloroethylene the most widely used solvent in the dry cleaning industry. The use of perchloroethylene in the SAFE-TAINER™ system ensures the sustainable use and safe application of this excellent cleaning product. Emissions can be minimised by use in closed systems.
Specific features and benefits of DOWPER™ solvent and DOWPER Pure Power solvent include:
- A specific gravity heavier than water provides increased mechanical agitation during the wash cycle
- Low viscosity and low surface tension enhance penetration of fibres
- High purity
- Leaving no residue or odours
- Excellent recycling properties
- Safe for fabrics and dyes commonly used in the fashion industry
- Non-flammability
The SAFE-TAINER systems marketed by SAFECHEM Europe GmbH, use DOWPER and DOWPER Pure Power solvents, proven to be highly efficient and effective for dry cleaning operations.
