South Coast Air Quality Management District is gathering information for lubricant manufacturers subject to Rule 1144 to understand the extent to which para-chlorobenzotrifluoride (pCBtF or Oxsol 100) and tert-Butyl Acetate (tBAc) are used to formulate products compliant with Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations.
The survey results will be used to assist staff in evaluating VOC content limits and proposing pCBtF and tBAc prohibition timelines. ILMA is maintaining open communication with regulators to ensure there is no meaningful impact to the industry.
