About this file

This document provides a banned construction materials list for a federal contract opportunity to construct a tower foundation and install a tower at the Mauna Loa Observatory. The list identifies various ozone-depleting substances and their alternatives that are banned from use in construction for this project. Specifically prohibited are chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, halons, chlorocarbons, bromocarbons, iodocarbons, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, carbonyl sulfide, benzene, tetrafluoroprop-1-ene, sulfuryl fluoride, nitrogen trifluoride, hexafluoroethane, carbon tetrafluoride, and any insulation sheets, foams, sprays, solvents, sealants, adhesives, or other products containing these chemicals. Typical applications where these banned substances have been used include insulation materials, spray cans, glues, caulks, paints, and paint thinners. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is seeking to construct a tower foundation and install a tower through this federal contracting opportunity, and the listed banned construction materials may not be used as part of the project.
