E078, Dimethylamine.

  • Federal E codes

    Dimethylamine

Use E078 when dimethylamine is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Dimethylamine is a flammable, corrosive amine used in making solvents & agrochemicals. Waste at 100 mg/kg or more by mass.

Is Federal E078 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E078 lists Dimethylamine. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions also apply.

What does Federal E078 cover?

Use E078 when Dimethylamine is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass. The material, source and any stated condition must match, so the name alone isn't enough.
