Vertrel™ SMT has zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential. It can replace CFC-113, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in many applications. Vertrel™ SMT is accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program as a substitute for ozone depleting substances.

1. Features and Benefits
- For cleaning situations that require a strong solvent, Vertrel™ SMT offers a variety of benefits, such as:
- Ability to target polar soils
- High solvency and capability to clean complex geometries
- Lower ionics and residual rosin levels than similar fluids under dentical cleaning conditions

2. Applications
Vertrel™ SMT is compatible with most plastics and elastomers, and can be used to clean a wide variety of soils, including:
- Flux residue
- Heavy greases
- Processing oils
- Mineral oils
- Synthetic oils
- Waxes

3. Environmental Legislation
- Vertrel™ specialty fluids have zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential. They are used as alternatives to CFC-113, methylchloroform, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in many critical cleaning, drying, carrier fluid, and other high-value specialty uses where reliability is paramount.
- Vertrel™ SMT is accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, as a substitute for ozone depleting substances.
- The components of Vertrel™ SMT are listed in the TSCA Inventory. One component, HFC-43-10mee, is subject to the Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) and should be used only in the indicated applications. See SDS Regulatory section. The methanol component of Vertrel™ SMT is considered a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and, therefore, is subject to NESHAP regulation. Methanol is included in the SARA Title
III Section 313 list of toxic chemicals and is subject to SARA Title III (EPCRA) reporting requirements.
