I work in the aerospace industry and certainly locally we havnt been able to get our hands on Trike for some 10yrs. Various 'safe' alternatives have since been provided but arn't quite as effective. I dare say some of our suppliers are still using it but I guess thats part of the point of farming stuff out to sub contract companies.

I certainly wouldnt want to use it on my boat.

I was wondering. It's nasty stuff. Still used in some areas though, especially aerospace, as change is a slow process.

Rich you used Trike??? You mad b**tard.

Trike has been banned for a while now and is a particularly nasty substance although very good at what it was created for.

trichloroethylene is a contributing factor in almost a third of all fatalities in the UK’s surface engineering industry


Use of the potentially cancer-causing metal degreaser is continuing unabated, despite its use being curtailed by the Solvents Emissions Directive (SED) from October 31.




Gentle heat works on the Gul stickers, although judging by how many are seen floating around at opens, water is pretty effective !
