Dichloromethane L 391 0.09
Diethylamine L >480 ND
N,N-Dimethylformamide L >480 ND
Ethyl Acetate L >480 ND
Ethylene Oxide G >480 ND
n-Hexane L >480 ND
Hydrogen Chloride G >480 ND
Methanol L 150 0.91
Methyl Chloride G >480 ND
Nitrobenzene L >480 ND
Sodium Hydroxide, 50% L >480 ND
Sulfuric Acid (conc.) L >480 ND
Tetrachloroethylene L >480 ND
Tetrahydrofuran L >480 ND
