Abatement Note: Under 29 CFR 1910.119(l)(1), Management of Change must be conducted because the blowing agent has changed from iso-pentane to iso-butane. The classification recommendation may change as a result of the lower flash and boiling points of iso-butane and the recent history of fires in the process area.
