10.6 Hazardous decomposition products

Hazardous decomposition products

:

heptane

Carbon oxides

tetradecane

Nonyl decanoate

Thermal decomposition

:

SADT - (Self accelerating decomposition temperature) is the lowest temperature at which self accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used in transport. A dangerous self-accelerating decomposition reaction and, under certain circumstances, explosion or fire can be caused by thermal decomposition at and above the SADT. Contact with incompatible substances can cause decomposition below the SADT.

Self-Accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT)

:

25 °C

Disposal considerations

13.1 Waste treatment methods

Product

:

Do not dispose of waste into sewer.

Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with chemical or used container.

Hazardous waste

Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulation.

Contaminated packaging

:

Empty remaining contents.

Dispose of as unused product.

Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the empty drum.

Due to the high risk of contamination recycling/recovery is not recommended.

Follow all warnings even after the container is emptied.
