EPA CPDat observed this chemical in 15 composition records across product categories including Construction and building materials, Cleaning products and household care, Raw materials.
Concern score
The concern value reflects this ingredient's chemical identity — its hazard profile from the published classifications and regulatory status below — not the safety of a product it appears in. A score near 40 is the baseline for ingredients with no specific signal (water scores 40 by design), so a mid-range value is not a safety verdict.
Concern score 5/100 · limited confidence.
