SAFETY, HANDLING AND STORAGE

Although Flutec PP1 is considered biologically and chemically inert, good laboratory practice should be observed when handling.  Flutec PP1 has an indefinite shelf life if properly stored in its original sealed container.  Safety data sheets are available on request. 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL

This product has a global warming potential of greater than 150  

TSCA - This product is registered on the TSCA inventory under cas number: 86508-42-1 - perfluorocompounds C5-C18.  This is a registration for a class 2 substance within the UVCB group.  (Variable composition)  

VOC – PP1 although Volatile does not classify as a VOC under the current EPA definition of  " Volatile organic compounds (VOC) means any compound of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate, which participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions.  

PFAS – There is no current internationally agreed definition of PFAS.  The current ECHA & EPA definition is  substances containing one fully fluorinated methyl group (-CF3) or fully fluorinated methylene group (-CF2-) without any hydrogen, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom attached to it.  

Under this ‘family’ definition Flutec fluids are classified as PFAS products, however, they do not have the properties of concern that functional PFAS products have.  Flutec PP1 is NOT toxic and it does NOT Bioaccumulate.
