Aspiration Hazard: Not classified
Aquatic Toxicity: Very toxic to aquatic life (EC50 for Daphnia magna < 1 mg/L)
Persistence and Degradability: Slow to moderate breakdown in environment; bioaccumulative
Bioaccumulative Potential: High due to fatty amine structure
Mobility in Soil: Binds to soil particles, slower movement to groundwater
Other Adverse Effects: Persistent exposure negatively impacts aquatic environments, reduces reproduction and survival rates for aquatic species
Special Notes: Do not allow substance to reach surface or ground water in significant quantities
Disposal Methods: Treat as hazardous waste. Incinerate at approved facility. Follow local, state, and federal disposal regulations only.
Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse containers. Dispose or recycle after compliance check with hazardous waste legislation.
