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 Safety Data Sheet 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. For details of exposure limits please refer to the Vertrel™ XP brochure.
