We use a lot of this stuff in our research lab, and have pretty strict chemical hygiene protocols for it. EU is restricting NMP too, so we’re keeping an eye on regulations. It’s definitely hard to replace as it’s a great solvent, but I agree with the EPA that it shouldn’t be in consumer goods

Wait a minute I’ve just realized like 6 months back maybe my work changed how we get rid of certain medication patches (it’s a different special bin now with a different color lid). Was this why???
