    Isocyanates used in polyurethane products

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

Isocyanate compounds in South Australia. Used to make polyurethane products, and toxic to breathe.

Is South Australia M220 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The SA EPA operational code list and its table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be on one and not the other. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

M220 is in the SA table for waste requiring tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.

What does South Australia M220 cover?

Isocyanate compounds used in products such as polyurethane foams, paints and glues go here. They are reactive, and the code isn't limited to one product form.
