Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: No possibility that the used agent will be recovered.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Agent has no potentially hazardous effect.  The agent is

essentially harmless toxicologically and environmentally.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Agent could be discharged in a controlled manner but the

necessity for this kind of destruction is quite remote.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The agent could be incinerated but the necessity for this

kind of destruction is quite remote.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: not applicable

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The agent will be completely limited to an industrial use as

a plasticizer in extruded medical grade plastics.  The

public will not have any contact with the agent.
