ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA
CFC 0.0% VOC 99.5%
HCFC 0.0% HFC 0.0%
CL Solv. 0.0% ODP 0.0
CFC, HCFC, CL. SOLV., VOC, and HFC numbers
shown are the content by weight. Ozone depletion
potential (ODP) is determined in accordance with the
Montreal Protocol and U.S. Clean Air Act of 1990.
The ODP of this product is 0.0. It is the sum of the
ODP of the substances that may contribute to the
depletion of stratospheric ozone, based upon the
weight of each substance in the product’s formulation.
