Environmental Properties

Vertrel XP has zero ozone-depletion potential. It is used extensively to replace CFC-113, methyl chloroform, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in several applications.

Vertrel XP has been accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program as a substitute for ozone-depleting substances. Vertrel XP is also VOC compliant under the California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulations which require VOC content less than 50 g/L of solvent. Vertrel XP is not a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and is, therefore, not subject to NESHAP regulations. Vertrel XP is not included in the SARA Title III Section 313 list of toxic chemicals and is not subject to SARA Title III (EPCRA) reporting requirements.

The components of Vertrel XP are listed in the TSCA inventory. One component, HFC-43-10mee, is subject to the Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) and should be used only in the applications indicated in the Vertrel XP SDS regulatory section.

Flammability and Toxicity

Vertrel XP exhibits no open- or closed-cup flash point and is not classified as a flammable liquid by NFPA or DOT. In addition, the product has no vapor flammability limits in air.

Flash point data and limits of flammability in air provide the user with additional information that could be used as elements of a fire risk assessment and to determine guidelines for the safe handling volatile chemicals. Users should ensure compliance with NFPA standards and local fire codes.

Acute Toxicity studies show that Vertrel XP has low toxicity. It is a slight skin and eye irritant and has low inhalation toxicity.
