    Chromium-and-lead ink-equipment cleaning sludge

Use K086 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for solvent, caustic or water washes and sludge from cleaning ink equipment made with chromium & lead pigments.

Is Federal K086 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K086 is the federal listing for chromium-and-lead ink-equipment cleaning sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.

What does Federal K086 cover?

Solvent, caustic or water washes and sludge from cleaning tubs and equipment used to make ink from pigments, driers, soaps and stabilizers containing chromium and lead. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K086.

Official wording
Solvent washes and sludge, caustic washes and sludge or water washes and sludge from cleaning tubs and equipment used in the formulation of ink from pigments, driers, soaps and stabilizers containing chromium and lead.

Is chromium-and-lead ink-equipment cleaning sludge always Federal K086?

CodeWhen it fits
K086It is chromium-and-lead ink-equipment cleaning sludge from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
