directly vented to the atmosphere, however, for safety purposes, the glue guns will
not operate if the building vent fan is not in operation. The facility uses
approximately 8,500 - 9000 gallons of F-12 per year. This product has been
reformulated and contains no HAPS or TAPS (Heptane is listed as VOC).
