    Ethylbenzene

Ethylbenzene is a flammable aromatic solvent used in paints & fuels. Waste at 100 mg/kg or more by mass.

Is Federal E086 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E086 lists Ethylbenzene. 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 E086 cover?

Use E086 when Ethylbenzene 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.
