    When to use F002
  • F-listed waste

    Spent non-halogenated solvents: acetone, xylene and related solvents

    When to use F003
  • F-listed waste

    Spent cresol, cresylic acid and nitrobenzene solvents

    When to use F004
  • F-listed waste

    Spent toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and related solvents

    When to use F005
Halogenated degreasers are F001 & F002. Acetone, xylene, cresols, toluene & MEK fall in F003 to F005.

What do the F001–F005 spent solvent codes cover?

F001 covers listed degreasing solvents. F002 covers listed halogenated solvents more generally. F003–F005 cover other non-halogenated solvents and blends.

How do I decide an F001–F005 spent solvent code?

Keep the formulation from before use and note what job the solvent did. A chemical used as a reactant isn't automatically a spent solvent.
