Marketing Notes: Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet for global regulatory information. It is the
responsibility of the end user to review the chemical control regulations for each country.
BIO-SOFT® N91-6 and BIO-SOFT® D-40 are approved ingredients on www.cleangredients.org.
For further information, visit our website or www.cleangredients.org. When used "as is" as a
general purpose degreaser, this formulation is VOC-compliant with California Air Resource Board
(CARB) Consumer Products regulation for non-aerosol general purpose cleaners (0.5% VOC limit
as of December 31, 2012). For U.S. formulators, STEPOSOL® MET-10U is a low vapor pressure
VOC (LVP-VOC), therefore its contribution to the VOC calculation is zero. STEPOSOL® MET-10U
does not contribute to the VOC calculation because of its high boiling point and low vapor
pressure.
