Usage

Several factors contribute to its widespread use:; For a solvent, it is aggressive. It is commonly used where other solvents aren't effective.; It is generally lower in cost.; Perhaps most importantly, the EPA ruled this solvent a Sara Title 313 material. That means its emissions are non-reportable on the Sara Title 313 or TRI report. (However, for transportation and all other purposes, it is classified as a hazardous material).
