Lockheed phased out the use of 1,1,1 trichoroethane about 12 years ago and went to a orange peel based solvent. The mechanics did not like the change as trich is a excellent solvent in many ways, but not good for your health. I doubt if it is readily available now.

Bizarre that you can find it in California... and I can't in Indiana.

The industrial solvent is 1, 1, 1 trichloroethane. Trichloroethylene is a different chemical, occasionally used as a solvent, formerly used as an inhalant anesthetic. It's the alkane (the ethane) that has two isomers, 1, 1, 1 and 1, 1, 2; the alkene (the ethylene) has only the one.

Yup, I see that I made an error that a couple of people pointed out here, confusing trichloroethylene with trichlorethane. The hell of it is, I remember correcting that mistake in an article I was editing, which had been written by someone else, almost 30 years ago.

To tell you the truth, I am suprised that they still have it. The same store also has MEK. I didn't see the ban on 1,1,1 trichloroethane coming and did not stock up on it. It was a standard item for IBM techs to carry....Paul

I wonder if that store takes phone orders and is willing to ship to Indiana...

Is it an independent retailer, or part of a chain?

They used to be a True Value Hardware. I'm not sure if they are part of a chain now. I don't buy much from them as their prices aren't low. The gallon of Carb-Sol weighs 13+ lbs. It's hazard class

6.1 as per DOT. This might be you best bet. The where to buy page from Sunnyside

If you really like the stuff, you might want to go back & grab some more. From the Sunnyside site:

"Where can I buy Carbo-Sol? Carbo-Sol was discontinued in January, 2006 because of changes in air pollution regulations in California and other states. ..."
