Biodegradability / Safe Handling of your waste (hazardous or non-hazardous):
An industrial cleaner or degreaser, resin remover, etc. may be considered fully or partially
biodegradable; meaning, the un-used product or used product could break down by natural
environment over a period of time. Measuring the process of decomposition or biodegradability
of a substance can determine how long it will last in its current form.
Solutions containing hazardous or non-hazardous soils should be handled and treated
according to Federal, State and Local Environmental Laws. Even though, your cleaner or the
spent material is partially or fully biodegradable, DO NOT discard in any private or public
sewerage system. Consult with your local and reputable hazardous waste hauler; let them
characterize your waste carefully and then dispose of it according to the environmental laws in
your state. If the material can be recycled via a vacuum distillation system on-site or via a
mobile reclamation service company, please do so. Discharge your distill bottom and screened
out solids according to Federal, State and Local Regulations. PLEASE REVIEW THE MSDS
FOR THE CLEANER YOU USE CAREFULLY BEFORE HANDLING WASTE and or Dispose
of the spent product.
A Non-Hazardous Chemical, which criteria constitutes for a non-hazardous definition:
RCRA Metals lower than allowable level (Milligrams/Liter) established by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s Office in 1976. These RCRA Metals are: Selenium,
Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Chromium, Lead, Mercury and Silver.
Non-reactive (the tendency of the product to undergo chemical reactions with one or
more substances causing interaction and releasing hazardous gas or liquid is
considered a REACTIVE Behavior). The chemical reactivity of a single substance
(reactant) covers its behavior in which it decomposes; it forms new substances by
addition of atoms from another reactant or reactants.
Non-flammable (any product having a flash point below 100 Degree F is considered
flammable.
Non-corrosive (any product with pH of 0-4 and 12-14 is considered corrosive)
Low order of toxicity.
