Nonflammable Solvents Until Wilsonart’s revolutionary nonflammable solvent, there were two main solvents used to create a nonflammable, solvent-based contact adhesive methylene chloride and n-Propyl Bromide. Methylene Chloride
n-Propyl Bromide

OSHA considers methylene chloride to be a potential occupational carcinogen due to link to injury and fatalities of workers using it.; https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/methylenechloride/ 4
“The documented adverse effects of nPB, which are based on established sound scientific principles, indicate that nPB is reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans and can cause non-cancer effects (e.g., reproductive toxicity and neurotoxicity).”; https://www.epa. gov/sites/production/files/2016-12/documents/npb-fact-sheet.pdf 5
“Inhalation is the most important route of exposure and methylene chloride vapor is absorbed readily from the lungs. Odor is not an adequate warning property for methylene chloride, the odor threshold is 250 ppm, which is 10 times higher than the OSHA PEL (25 ppm). Olfactory fatigue may also occur at high concentrations. Methylene chloride is heavier than air and may cause asphyxiation in enclosed, poorly ventilated, or low-lying areas.”; https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/MMG/MMG.asp?id=230&tid=42 6

Both MC and nPB listed on the EPA’s 10 targeted chemicals per the revised TSCA regulations issued in Jan 2017 to be potentially banned from usage (list includes asbestos).; https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/risk-evaluationsexisting-chemicals-under-tsca 8
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule to prohibit the manufacture (including import), processing, and distribution of methylene chloride in all paint removers for consumer use. EPA has taken this action because of the acute fatalities that have resulted from exposure to the chemical. https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epabans-consumer-sales-methylene-chloride-paint-removers-protecting-public 9
