1,2 trans-Dichloroethylene is presented as a discrete shop item. The extracts provided do not include a product-detail description, specification sheet, safety data, compatibility statement, or use instructions for the neat material.

## trans-1 2-Dichloroethylene in formulated blends

- Enviro Tech International states that NEXT-HD Pro is a replacement solvent for TCE and PERC.
- The same [blog index](https://envirotechint.com/blog/) describes NEXT-HD Pro as "Enviro Tech's newest 1,2 trans blend using no HFC's."
- No formulation percentage, co-solvent identity, performance comparison values, or approval list for trans-1,2-dichloroethylene blends is included in the extracts provided.

## trans-1,2-DCE properties and uses: what is documented here

- Properties: the provided brand website extracts and knowledge-graph facts do not state boiling point, density, solvency value, flash point, stability, materials compatibility, or environmental profile for trans-1,2-DCE. This page does not repeat those values because they are not in the grounding material.
- General uses context: Enviro Tech International describes itself as a specialist manufacturer and supplier of precision cleaning solvents and industrial chemical solutions, with chemist and engineer support and custom chemical blending. That description applies to the portfolio generally, not as a specific documented use claim for neat trans-1,2-DCE.
- Process context where trans blends are mentioned: the only process context stated for the 1,2 trans blend NEXT-HD Pro in the extracts is as a TCE and PERC replacement solvent. The extract sentence beginning "This solvent blend is perfectly suited for vapor degr" is truncated in the source extract and is therefore not completed here.

## How to verify trans-dichloroethylene for your process

- Confirm whether you need neat 1,2 trans-dichloroethylene or a formulated 1,2 trans blend such as NEXT-HD Pro.
- Request from Enviro Tech International the current technical data sheet, safety data sheet, and compatibility guidance for the specific product name on the shop listing.
- For regulated or approved processes, request written confirmation of specification compliance and approved-process status before substitution, because none is stated in the extracts cited here.
