    1,3-Propane sultone

U-list unused product.

Toxic U-listed hazardous waste for unused 1,3-propane sultone, a chemical used in dyes, detergents & batteries.

Is U193 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the listing applies. U193 covers unused 1,3-Propane sultone thrown away as described below, including off-specification product and qualifying residues. It is a nonacute U-listed waste, not an acute P-listed one. The listing turns on the product and how it is discarded, not on a TCLP result alone.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put U193 in Item 13. Also check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules and pharmaceutical containers.

What does U193 cover?

This covers unused 1,3-Propane sultone discarded as pure or technical grade, or in a formulation where it is the only active ingredient. That includes off-specification batches, residues in nonempty containers and cleanup residues from spills of these products. Inactive ingredients don't stop it counting as the sole active ingredient.

Is waste 1,3-Propane sultone always U193?

CodeWhen it fits
U193The unused chemical is discarded as pure or technical grade, or as the sole active ingredient. Residues from that product count too.
Characteristic waste (D001–D043)A used chemical or a different formulation meets a hazardous waste characteristic. Check any process listings that apply too.

The rows can apply together, so a listed unused product can also exhibit a characteristic. This chemical turning up in a manufacturing waste doesn't make the waste U193. Match the waste's origin, formulation and use history. Mixing listed waste with solid waste, or treating it, usually doesn't remove the listing. That takes an applicable exclusion, exception or approved delisting.
