K115, Heavy residue from purifying toluenediamine.
K-listed waste
Heavy residue from purifying toluenediamine
Industry: Organic chemicals.
ComplyOnSiteIs K115 hazardous waste?
Yes. K115 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.
K115 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test may add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K115 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does K115 cover?
Heavy ends from purifying toluenediamine, made by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is toluenediamine heavy ends K115 or another code?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K115 | It is heavy ends from purifying toluenediamine made by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene. |
| K113 | It is condensed liquid light ends from purifying toluenediamine made by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene. |
| K114 | It is vicinals from purifying toluenediamine made by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene. |
The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that can apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, as one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.
