I have no clue what trichloroethylene is so I think the title is fair. It could be a stone for all I know.

  A very effective organic solvent. Used in dry cleaning and formerly in chip making in SV.

    And in Tipp-ex/liquid paper/white out. The smell was quite interesting. They switched to a replacement solvent that wasn't nearly as good.

    It's also highly toxic, works as an anaesthetic (i.e., knocks you out); it also decomposes into phosgene and hydrochloride when exposed to light and air. But on the other hand, it is a great organic solvent.
