AB  - Trichloroethane  and  trichloroethylene  are  organic  solvents  that  have  historically  been  used  as  ingredients  in  many  products,  including  typewriter  correction  fluid  ("Wite-Out"),  color  film  cleaners,  insecticides,  spot  removers,  fabric-cleaning  solutions,  adhesives,  and  paint  removers.  They  have  also  been  used  extensively  in  industry  as  degreasers.  Trichloroethane  is  available  in  two  isomeric  forms,  1,1,2-trichloroethane  and  1,1,1-trichloroethane,  with  the  latter  (also  known  as  methyl  chloroform)  being  the  more  common.  Tetrachloroethylene  (perchloroethylene)  is  another  related  solvent  that  is  widely  used  in  the  dry  cleaning  industry,  although  some  regulatory  agencies,  such  as  the  California  Air  Resources  Board,  have  mandated  its  gradual  phase-out  for  this  application.  Similarly,  recognition  of  the  stratospheric  ozone  depletion  potential  of  1,1,1-trichloroethane  has  resulted  in  the  substitution  of  other  chemicals  for  most  applications.
