DuPont™ Vertrel® SDG Technical Information
DuPont™ Vertrel® SDG does a good job balancing performance with favorable environmental and worker safety properties. Environmental Environmental DuPont Ozone-Depletion Potential (ODP) 0
*based on IPCC Second Assessment Report values All components are listed in the TSCA inventory. Refer to the MSDS for regulatory information. Safety/Flammability/Storage Data from acute toxicity studies has demonstrated that Vertrel® SDG has low toxicity. It has a calculated AEL (Acceptable Exposure Limit) of 193 ppm based on its individual components. AEL is an airborne inhalation exposure limit established by DuPont™ that specifies time-weighted average concentrations to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed without adverse effects. The calculated AEL is in accordance with ACGIH formulas for TLVs for mixtures. Vertrel® SDG is a slight skin and eye irritant and has low acute inhalation toxicity. Please refer to the MSDS for information on detailed exposure limits an toxicity-related data. DuPont™ Vertrel® SDG exhibits no closed cup or open cup flash point and is not classified as a flammable liquid by NFPA or DOT. The product is volatile, and if allowed to evaporate and mix with air, the vapor may become flammable. Flash point data and vapor flammability limits in air are shown in the table. Table 2 Test DuPont Closed Cup Flash Point ASTM D93 None User should clear equipment of all vapors and liquids before performing any maintenance operations that could result in an ignition source. Users also need to consider the possibility of vapor flammability of this product to determine guidelines for its safe handling in all other parts of the user's operations. For example, when opening a partially-filled container that has been stored, treat the gas/air mixture as if it is flammable. DuPont™ Vertrel® SDG is thermally stable and does not oxidize or degrade during storage. Store in a clean, dry area. Protect from freezing temperatures. If solvent is stored below -10ºC (14ºF), mix prior to use. Do not allow stored product to exceed 52ºC (125ºF) to prevent leakage or potential rupture of container from pressure and expansion.
