Answer:
Two chemicals used for dry cleaning of clothes as per the principle of green chemistry are:
- decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5)
- DF-2000
Explanation:
- The leading chemical perchloroethylene (PERC) is used in dry cleaning industries has several health hazards. So it is not eco-friendly.
- D5 is a solvent which is odorless and non-toxic liquid silicone. It is a very good detergent and eco-friendly. It is chemically inert and there is no reaction with the fabric during the process of dry cleaning.
- DF-2000 is a synthetic hydrocarbon fluid. It is also eco-friendly and alternative to hazardous chemicals like PERC. It is an effective detergent which cleans the fabrics without altering the quality of the fabric. It is also safe for workers of the dry cleaning industries.
