Flavoring companies CAS TPA (CAPELLA, FA, Flavorah lists Ethyl Butyrate, Ethyl/Amyl Acetate and Benzaldehyde of their safety sheets, because these compounds are also irritants and has to be listed) Some of CAP and Flavorah listings are Trade Secrets. TPA and FA seems to be very transparent, while TPA the most detailed of them all.

Hope this was somehow helpful to those that want to mix for PMMA users, or PMMA users with SQape E[c] or Amerpoint RDtAs.
This lists is not for PC Polycarbonate tanks specifically, which has different entropy thresholds % (break down on Butyric Acid) to compounds than PMMA - and is known to leach - quality PMMA seems to be more flexible to lower %. Both seem to stand up to Acetic Acid and Citric acid in lower %
Reference to PC (Chinese materials used, like in clones, is likely of lesser quality:

Or just avoid plastic
Avoiding plastic all together? Good luck. Some knowledge of plastics and aggressive flavor compounds don't hurt. If not you vape a Kayfun with Glass, a Dripper, mix in glass and use original TFA in glass. Some amazing RDAs and RTAs come with plastic tanks, also PEI Ultem which has it's own quality controls. (especially open MTL flavorchasers) With steel you don't know when empty of liquid. If you squonk too, good luck avoiding plastics.
