Environmental Properties

DuPont™ Vertrel® XF has zero ozone-depletion potential and low global warming potential. It is used extensively to replace CFC-113, methyl chloroform, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in several applications.

DuPont™ Vertrel® XF 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.  DuPont™ Vertrel® XF (HFC 43-10mee) is exempt from classification as a volatile organic chemical (VOC) by the EPA. DuPont™ Vertrel® XF 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.  DuPont™ Vertrel® XF is not a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and is, therefore, not subject to NESHAP regulations.  DuPont™ Vertrel® XF 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 DuPont™ Vertrel® XF 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 DuPont™ Vertrel® XF MSDS regulatory section.


Flammability and Toxicity

DuPont™ Vertrel® XF is nonflammable and does not become flammable during boiling or evaporation.  It exhibits no open-or closed-cup flash point, and is not classified as a flammable liquid by NFPA or DOT.  It is thermally stable to 300°C (572°F) and does not oxidize or degrade during storage.

Acute toxicity studies show that DuPont™ Vertrel® XF has low toxicity.  It is a slight skin and eye irritant and has low inhalation toxicity.
