>The actual ingredients are literally on the safety data sheet:

The only CAS number listed in that data sheet that doesn’t return Molecular Formula: Unspecified is carbon dioxide. The other 98% of the formulation is just sort of vague references to petroleum distillates.

For the PDF impaired

- LVP Aliphatic Hydrocarbon (CAS #64742-47-8) 45-50%

- Petroleum Base Oil (CAS #64742-56-9, 65-0, 53-6, 54-7, 71-8) <35%

- Aliphatic Hydrocarbon (CAS #64742-47-8) 10 - <25%

- Carbon Dioxide (CAS #124-38-9) 2-3%

Note: The specific chemical identity and exact percentages are a trade secret.

  • I don't know the distribution between aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, but there's lots of each.

    > specific chemical identity

    I wonder if it's just two hydrocarbons then? Odd that identify is singular.
