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.
