12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The product is insoluble in water. Therefore, ecological tests have not been conducted. The product does not
contain organically bound halogens which could lead to an AOX value in waste water.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Methods of product disposal: Examine possibilities for re-utilisation. Product residues and uncleaned empty
containers should be packaged, sealed, labelled, and disposed of or recycled according to relevant national and
local regulations. Where large quantities are concerned, consult the supplier. When uncleaned empty containers
are passed on, the recipient must be warned of any possible hazard that may be caused by residues. For
disposal within the EC, the appropriate code according to the European Waste List (EWL) should be used. It is
among the tasks of the polluter to assign the waste to waste codes specific to industrial sectors and processes
according to the European Waste List (EWL).
Hazardous waste: The classification of the product may meet the criteria for a hazardous waste.
Methods of packaging disposal: The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible.
Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only be considered when recycling is not
feasible.
Special precautions: This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe way. Care should be taken
when handling emptied containers that have not been cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may
retain some product residues. Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers.
