Despite controversies chlorinated solvents remain present in a range of aerosol products including hairspray and deodorant.
Chlorinated solvents are used in a wide variety of adhesive products available to consumers, including carpet glue, spray and tube adhesives, superglue, and wood parquet glue.
Chlorinated solvents are common ingredients in materials such as paint spray and paint stripper - although since 2010 DCM is no longer permitted in home use paint strippers, in part due to problems encountered with disposal, chlorinated solvents continue to be used for this purpose in non-EU countries.
Chlorinated solvents are used in various plant protection products, both for large-scale agriculture and for home-use, and in other pest control sprays.
