    Triethylamine foundry-sand catalyst

New South Wales M230: triethylamine is the catalyst used to harden sand moulds in foundries.

Triethylamine, the catalyst that sets foundry sand moulds. A strong-smelling, flammable amine used to harden the sand.

Is NSW M230 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. M230 marks a waste that may need tracking. Tracking under Part 4 needs a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That test is separate from the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.

Where tracking applies, enter M230 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. NSW tracking exemptions still apply.
