[DCHAS-L] Waste storage question
???Hi Ralph,
All of those components are flammable with the ethyl acetate and hexanes being more flammable than the dichlomethane. However, the dichloromethane is also carcinogenic posing more of a chronic
health risk. I prefer to use the Fisher web site to look up safety and SDS information, as everything is clear and easy to understand. Fisher also provides color coding and easier pictograms than Sigma or Acros.
Also, I doubt that the DCM waste from the reaction will be stabilized (even if the solvent originally contained a stabilizer), but according to the Fisher site, stabilized or not, the FIRE
rating is the same.
Info below.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Greglynn
