Waste
Classification |
When a
decision is made to discard unused portions of this product, it
does not meet RCRA’s characteristic definition of ignitability,
corrosivity, or reactivity, and none of the materials used in
this product are listed in 40 CFR 261.33. The pH of this product
is equal to or less than 2.0 and is therefore characterized
under the RCRA as a corrosive. Neutralization as indicated
in Section XIII prior to disposal is required. The toxicity
characteristic (TC), however, has not been evaluated by the
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP).
Note:
Chemical additions to, processing of, or otherwise altering this
material may make this waste management information incomplete,
inaccurate, or otherwise inappropriate. Furthermore, State and
local waste disposal requirements may be more restrictive or
otherwise different from Federal laws and regulations. |
