Perchloroethylene, mainly used as a solvent in dry cleaning and degreasing applications, holds a small but essential role in Bahrains industrial landscape. Despite its effectiveness, environmental and health concerns have limited its broader application. The market is gradually shifting toward safer alternatives, although regulated use still persists in traditional sectors.
Perchloroethylene, traditionally used in dry cleaning and metal degreasing, maintains a presence in Bahrains industrial chemicals market, though its use is increasingly under scrutiny. Regulatory pressures and environmental concerns about its toxicity and volatility are pushing end-users toward safer alternatives. The trend in the market is toward reformulation and technological upgrades in cleaning processes that minimize or eliminate the need for perchloroethylene, suggesting a gradual decline in traditional applications.
Perchloroethylene use in Bahrain is declining due to increasing environmental regulations and health concerns surrounding its toxicity. As one of the main chemicals used in dry cleaning, its market size is further limited by the shrinking number of traditional dry-cleaning businesses in the country. Alternatives such as hydrocarbon and silicone-based solvents are gaining popularity, reducing the relevance of perchloroethylene. Additionally, import reliance and hazardous material handling requirements increase operational costs for local users.
Despite environmental concerns, perchloroethylene remains essential in Bahrains dry cleaning and industrial cleaning applications. Investors could focus on safer handling technologies, recycling systems, and environmentally compliant substitutes to meet regulatory standards while serving existing market needs.
Perchloroethylene, commonly used in dry cleaning and metal degreasing, falls under Bahrains chemical safety and hazardous materials regulations. The Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) imposes tight controls on the import, storage, and handling of this solvent due to its environmental and health risks. Businesses must obtain permits and ensure compliance with storage facility safety codes. The government is gradually encouraging the shift toward safer alternatives in line with international environmental treaties such as the Stockholm Convention.
