Typical construction applications for these banned compounds include: “blue-board” and “pink-board” insulation sheets (most contain HCFCs), blown foam insulation containing prohibited chemicals as ingredients and/or propellants, spray-can dusters, even ones that say “ozone-friendly”, and solvents/sealants/adhesives using prohibited chemicals (examples include glues, caulks, paints, paint thinner, liquid nail, etc).
