Perchloroethylene (PCE) Supplier South Africa | Industrial Solvent for Metal Degreasing & Coatings

Perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene or PCE, is a stable, non-flammable solvent trusted for streak-free dry cleaning and precision metal degreasing. Our industrial grade is GC-assayed to ≥99.9% and controlled for water and residue so it evaporates cleanly, leaving no film on textiles or machined parts. Available in drum, IBC, and bulk options with COA and SDS provided, and stabiliser options if required, it integrates easily into modern solvent care and recovery systems. With strategic local stock in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town, Massive Dynamic ensures reliable supply, full batch traceability, and expert technical support.
