(1Octanesulfonic acid) (C A S # 2795-39-3). R e m arks: The 3M production lot number w as not given. The test sam ple is FC-3003. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1 % P F O S , 1 5 % diethylene glycol butyl ether, 7 9 .3 9 % water, 2 % Sultone foamer, 1 .5 % sodium octyl sulfate, 1 % sodium decyl sulfate, 0 .0 6 % sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0 .0 5 % benzotriazole. The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect toxicity o f the fluorochemical component o f the test sample. M E T H O D :___________________________________________________________ M ethod: O E C D Guideline.
