My spouse wants to use Scotchgard fabric protector in our home. I'm trying to figure out if the components are dangerous. It contains acetone, isopropanol, aliphatic hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide propellant and fluorochemical urethane. It's the secret fluorochemical urethane that concerns me.
I know Scotchgard used to contain bad perfluorochemical (PFC) perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS).
