Carbon tetrachloride was at one time widely used in industry, and still is to a certain extent, although its use as a degreaser or common solvent has been banned in many jurisdictions. Until recently, however, it was commonly used as a degreaser and a solvent for oils, fats, lacquers, varnishes, rubber waxes, and resins. Two of its most common uses were in the dry cleaning industry and in portable fire extinguishers.

In the chemical industry and in research alone more than 1700 trade name products and chemicals are used as solvents (Ash and Ash, 1996). The worldwide solvents market is estimated at over 30 billions pounds per year. Solvents are used in a wide range of industries and applications including metal cleaning and degreasing, dry cleaning operations, automotive and aviation fuel additives, paints, varnishes, lacquers, paint removers, plastics and rubber products, adhesives, textiles, printing inks, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. 

A solvent is a substance that can dissolve another substance, and a volatile solvent is a liquid that vaporizes at room temperature. Volatile solvents include adhesives such as airplane glue and rubber cement aerosols such as spray paint, hair spray, and air freshener solvents such as nail polish remover, paint remover, and lighter fluid and cleaners such as dry cleaning fluid, spot remover, and degreasers. 

There have been limited field and controlled exposure studies that evaluated human reactions to carpet emissions. Winfield (1987) described a USA primary school where odor, headache, nausea, fatigue and mucosal irritation were reported by a high proportion of the students. Elevated indoor air concentrations of styrene (900-4000 xg m 3) were found, which were believed to be due to a SB R latex-backed carpet which had been installed several years previously. The carpet was removed and the ill-effects were reported to abate. Johnsen et al. (1990) exposed asthma sufferers to a foam rubber-backed carpet in a room chamber. While no clinical effects on lung function were observed, objective eye measurements found that there was a change in tear film quality. This was proposed to result from a degreasing effect of lipophilic VOCs, identified as toluene and acetone (Wolkoff, Nielsen and Hansen, 1990). 

Polyamide (nylon) Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone 1. Abrasion. Grit or vapor blast or abrade with 100-grit emery cloth followed by solvent degreasing. 2. Prime with a spreading dough based on the type of rubber to be bonded in an admixture with isocyanate. 3. Prime with resorcinol formaldehyde adhesives. Sand or steel shot is suitable abrasive Suitable for bonding polyamide textiles to natural and synthetic rubbers Good adhesion to primer coat with epoxy adhesives in metal-to-plastic joints...

Trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane are used in correction fluids, dry-cleaning products, degreasing sprays, and solvents and spot removers. Bromochlorodifluoro-methane is a compound found in halon fire extinguishers that is abused. Freon is used for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Anesthetics include halothane, chloroform, and the local anesthetic ethyl chloride. Methylene chloride is a component of rubber cement, paint strippers, and degreasing agents, and fluorocarbons are present in many types of aerosol sprays. 

Chlorobenzene is used as a solvent for pesticide formulations, in auto parts degreasing, and in the manufacture of adhesives, paints, polishes, waxes, pharmaceuticals, and natural rubber. It is a chemical intermediate in the production of diphenyl oxide, diisocyanates, and nitrochlorobenzene. It has also been used as a fiber-swelling agent and as a dye carrier in textile processing. 

Use Refrigerants. Metal degreasing, agricultural fumigant, chlorinating organic compounds, production of semiconductors, solvent (fats, oils, rubber, etc.). 

Use Solvent for oils, greases, rubber resins, and bituminous materials removal of tar reclaiming rubber paint and varnish removers degreasing of metals insecticide soil fumigant removal of wax deposits on oil-well equipment.
