Formuiators
Industry Overview
If your operation is in the chemical formulating industry
category and you use solvents, pesticides, strong acids or bases,
ignitable chemicals, reactive chemicals, or solutions or sludges
containing metals or toxic organic chemicals, you might be
subject to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
requirements covering the generation, transportation, and
management of hazardous waste.
The following chemical formulating industry groups are
covered by this summary:
Printing ink
Pesticides and agricultural chemicals
Pharmaceutical preparations
Paint and coatings
Chemical product formulation not elsewhere classified
under chemical manufacturing.
Hazardous Wastes From Formuiators
While the specific chemical constituents of your waste can
vary depending on the type of chemicals you formulate, most
formulators will have wastes that fall under one of the following
categories:
Spent or unusable materials such as chemicals
and solvents
Rinsing solutions from cleaning of containers,
mixing vats, and tools .
Rags and other cleaning implements.
In addition, specific formulators generate wastes such as used
pesticide and pesticide containers, spent catalysts, wastes
containing heavy metals, ink wastes, ignitable wastes, and
reactive wastes.- - . ,
Printing ink formulation involves the combination of basic
constituents in proportions that depend on the desired properties
of the ink. In general, inks are made from coloring materials that
can include flushed colors, color concentrates, toners, and
pigments; resins and varnishes; and solvents. Pigments might
contain heavy metals or other toxic constituents. Resins and
varnishes might contain toxic organic constituents. Many spent
solvents are listed wastes. In addition to these basic ingredients,
other ingredients that contain hazardous materials are sometimes
added to adjust the ink's properties. These include driers, waxes,
antioxidants, thickeners and gellants, defoamers, wetting agents,
and surfactants. The main categories of wastes generated from the
formulation of printing ink include alkaline wastes, spent
solvents and solvent still bottoms, heavy metal solutions, ink
sludges containing chromium or lead, and other wastes that might
contain toxic organic constituents.
Pesticide and agricultural chemical formulators mix
concentrated pesticides with carriers and dispersing agents for use
EPA/S30-SW-90-027p
by pesticide applicators. The formulations can include a number
of compounds that enhance the properties of the pesticide product.
The carriers, dispersing agents, and other compounds might
contain hazardous constituents. In general, the wastes from
pesticide and agricultural formulators are pesticide-contaminated
rinse solutions generated from washing and rinsing the drums,
vats, and assorted instruments used to mix the formulation.
Formulators of pharmaceutical preparations generate
spent solvents and solvent still bottoms, ignitable wastes, and
possibly toxic wastewaters and sludges. The formulation of
paints and coatings (e.g., varnishes, lacquers, enamels)
usually involves the use of solvents, driers, plastic resins,
alcohols, phthalates, and inorganic pigments. Potentially
hazardous wastes from the formulation of paints and coatings are
solvent wastes, sludges, cleaning wastes, spills, and spoiled
batches. Formulators of other miscellaneous chemical
products often generate hazardous wastes including strong
acid/alkaline wastes, spent solvents and still bottoms, reactive
wastes, ignitable wastes, and toxic wastes.
Table 1 summarizes some of the general waste types generated
during formulation. If you generate more than 100 kilograms
(220 pounds or one-half of a 55-gallon drum) of hazardous waste
per month, you must complete a Uniform Hazardous Waste
Manifest when you ship your waste off your property. The
Manifest requires the DOT (Department of Transportation)
description of the waste including shipping name, hazard class,
and UN/NA ID number. This information is present in Tables 2
through 5 for some wastes generated by formulators. These tables
are not comprehensive lists. If you suspect that you generate a
hazardous waste that is not on this list, contact your state
hazardous waste management agency or EPA Regional office for
assistance.
Waste Minimization
An effective waste minimization program can reduce the costs,
liabilities, and regulatory burdens of hazardous waste
management, while potentially enhancing efficiency, product
quality, and community relations. Waste minimization techniques
that can help you reduce the amount of hazardous waste that you
generate include:
Production planning and sequencing
Process/equipment adjustment or modification
Raw material substitution
Loss prevention and housekeeping
Waste segregation and separation
. Recycling.
Training and supervision of employees implementing waste
minimization techniques is an important part of your successful
program. Call the RCRA/Superfund Hotline toll-free at 800-424-
9346 (or TDD 800-553-7672 for the hearing-impaired) for waste
minimization information and publications.
