    Dinitrotoluenes (excluding 2,4-dinitrotoluene)

Use E081 when dinitrotoluenes (excluding 2,4-dinitrotoluene) is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Dinitrotoluenes except the 2,4-isomer are nitro compounds used for polyurethane & explosives. Limit is 100 mg/kg.

Is Federal E081 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E081 lists Dinitrotoluenes (excluding 2,4-dinitrotoluene). 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 E081 cover?

Use E081 when Dinitrotoluenes (excluding 2,4-dinitrotoluene) 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.

Decide from the material's actual origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still apply.
