Propylene Carbonate does not meet the 50g/l requirement. We were using
isopropyl before SCAQMD came thru and told us we could no longer use it. We
investigated other solvents, but every one that met the 50g/l requirement
was aggressive to humans.
We ended up switching to acetone. It doesn't meet the 50g/l requirement
either, but it's on the SCAQMD's exempt chemical list.
