1,1,1-tribromoethane

1,1,1-Tribromoethane (CAS 2311-14-0) is a brominated solvent evaluated for use in industrial cleaning and specialty solvent applications. It functions as a high-density solvent and degreasing agent in formulations where halogenated solvents are specified.

In metalworking and industrial cleaning, it is assessed as a degreasing solvent for removing oils, greases, and machining residues from metal components. Electronics manufacturing processes that require precision cleaning of circuit boards represent another area of technical interest.

Lubricant formulators have examined it as a carrier solvent where brominated chemistry is required for specific performance profiles. Home care and industrial cleaning product developers may evaluate it as a functional solvent component in heavy-duty formulations.

The chemical is supplied as a liquid and is available primarily in technical grade for industrial and research applications. Packaging typically ranges from laboratory quantities to bulk supply, depending on sourcing channel and end-use requirements.
