    Isocyanates used in polyurethane products

Northern Territory M220: these reactive chemicals are used in products such as polyurethane paints, foams and glues.

NT controlled waste for isocyanate compounds. Reactive chemicals in polyurethane paints, foams & glues that can trigger asthma.

Is NT M220 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The code is an administrative description, not the statutory listed-waste test. NT licensing for listed-waste activities generally covers commercial work or services done for a fee. So the waste, the activity and the licence conditions all matter.

Every controlled-waste movement into or out of the NT needs a consignment authorisation and Waste Transfer Certificate. The certificate's waste-code field takes the accepted code with a description. The November 2024 guide makes online tracking within the NT voluntary, but licensed operators still keep records and report volumes under their licence conditions.

For a controlled border movement, enter the accepted code in the certificate's waste-code field. Then check the NT code currency and movement rules.

What does NT M220 cover?

Isocyanate compounds used in products such as polyurethane foams, paints and glues. These reactive compounds aren't limited to one product form.
