| Overview: |
Adhesive EA 9446
is used on F-16 aircraft; however, it contains ODSs. An approved substitute
is available, but while ODS-free, it does contain some suspected carcinogens.
Dexter Hysol is not planning any changes in product formulation due to
the small amount of carbon tetrachloride contaminating the product.
The Lord Corporation
product Versilock 201/Accelerator 4 is ODS-free, but the accelerator contains
two suspected carcinogens: trichloroethylene (15%) and methylene chloride
(70%). Given these components, this product must be used under carefully
controlled conditions.
EA 9446 is the preferred
adhesive under Technical Order 1F-16C-3-1 for use on F-16 aircraft. It
does, however, contain trace amounts of carbon tetrachloride, not an ingredient
per se, but an impurity contaminating the process during the formulation
of the product.

| Compliance
Benefit: |
Use of an ODS-free
product substitute for Adhesive EA 9446 (contains trace amounts of carbon
tetrachloride) will help facilities meet the requirements under 40
CFR 82, Subpart D and Executive Order 12843 requiring federal agencies
to maximize the use of safe alternatives to class I and class II ozone
depleting substances, to the maximum extent practicable.
The compliance benefits
listed here are only meant to be used as a general guideline and are not
meant to be strictly interpreted. Actual compliance benefits will vary
depending on the factors involved, e.g. the amount of workload involved.
