Approval is granted for the
whole class of compounds. |
Trans-1,2-dichloroethylene |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform |
The OSHA set exposure limit is
200 ppm. |
Hydrofluorether
(HFE) 7100: C4F9OCH3 (methoxynonafluorobutane, iso
and normal) |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform,
HCFC-141b |
None |
HFE-7200
(C5F9OCH3) |

The Agency expects that any
exposures will not exceed any acceptable exposure
limits set by any voluntary consensus standards
organization, including the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists' (ACGIH) threshold
limit values (TLVs) or the American Industrial
Hygiene Association's (AIHA) workplace environmental
exposure limits (WEELs). |
Vanishing oils |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform |
Depending on geographic region,
may be subject to VOC controls. |
Heptafluorocyclopentane |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform,
HCFC-141b |
EPA expects users to adhere to
an exposure limit of 123 ppm over an eight-hour
time-weighted average, with a ceiling of 500
ppm. |
HFC-365mfc |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform,
HCFC-141b |
None |
HCFC-225ca and
HCFC-225cb |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform |
EPA recommends observing the
manufacturer’s recommended exposure guidelines
of 50 ppm for the -ca isomer, 400 ppm for the -cb
isomer, and 100 ppm for the commercial mixture of
HCFC-225ca/cb.
EPA encourages users to consider other
alternatives that do not have an ozone depletion
potential. |
HFC-4310mee |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform,
HCFC-141b |
Company-set time-weighted
average workplace exposure standard of 200 ppm, and a
workplace exposure ceiling of 400 ppm. |
The Mini-Max
Cleaner® |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform |
None |
n-propyl
bromide |
CFC-113, Methyl Chloroform |
EPA recommends the use of personal protective
equipment, including chemical goggles, flexible
laminate protective gloves and chemical-resistant
clothing.
EPA expects that all users of nPB would comply
with any final Permissible Exposure Limit that the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
issues in the future under 42 U.S.C. 7610(a). nPB,
also known as 1-bromopropane, is Number 106-94-5 in
the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry.
