FL 1 = If the requirements of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must be
complied with, these solvents maybe restricted from use or have very specific limitations applied to their use.
FL 2 = These solvents meet the requirements of the NESHAP for compliance. This only applies where the re-
quirements of the NESHAP are being enforced.
# = These solvents have a vapor pressure not exceeding 45 mm Hg (24.1 in H2
O
) at 20° C (68° F) and will have
reporting and other requirements under the NESHAP.
