5. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
| Waste disposal | : | Product is suitable for burning for fuel value compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
| Contaminated packaging | : | Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapour) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURISE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to refill or clean container since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. |
| Other regulations | : | Disposal of unused product may be subject to RCRA regulations (40 CFR 261). Disposal of the used product may also be regulated due to ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). |
| Flash Point | : | > 46 °C(ASTM D-56) |
5. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
Note |
: | The flash point of this material is > 38 °C, and hence regulatory classifications for flammability may vary. |
