ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA HCFC-141b HCFC-225 None None HFC nPB Aerosol-Yes None Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are regulated under the Montreal Protocol as Class II ozone depleting substances. HCFC-141b is no longer produced in the US under this legislation. HCFC-225 is planned for production phase-out in 2015. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are not currently regulated. EPA has listed n-propyl bromide (nPB) as an acceptable alternative to ozone depleting substances in metal, precision, and electronics cleaning under Section 612 of the Clean Air Act.
