Disposal considerations
Product
Neutralize if necessary and check pH value. Transfer to storage container for halogenized organic solvents.
No uniform regulations for the disposal of chemicals or waste materials are in effect in the EU. Chemicals which are
generated as waste materials are as a rule hazardous waste, the disposal of which is regulated by corresponding
laws. Please contact the appropriate authority or disposal firm to obtain the required information.
Packaging material
Disposal according to the relevant regulations. Contaminated packaging materials are to be treated as the product
itself. If no regulations apply, non-contaminated packaging materials can be treated as household refuse or be recycled.
