Other information
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) meets the current REACh Annex XIII criteria for PBT and vPvB. However,
D4 does not behave similarly to known PBT/vPvB substances. The silicones industries interpretation of the
available data is that the weight of scientific evidence from field studies shows that D4 is not biomagnifying in
aquatic and terrestrial food webs. D4 in air will degrade by reaction with naturally occurring hydroxyl radicals
in the atmosphere. Any D4 in air that does not degrade by reaction with hydroxyl radicals is not expected to
deposit from the air to water, to land, or to living organisms.
Section 13. Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
:
The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever
possible. Disposal of this product, solutions and any by-products
should at all times comply with the requirements of environmental
protection and waste disposal legislation and any regional local
authority requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable
products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste should not
be disposed of untreated to the sewer unless fully compliant with
the requirements of all authorities with jurisdiction. Waste
packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only
be considered when recycling is not feasible. This material and its
container must be disposed of in a safe way. Care should be taken
when handling emptied containers that have not been cleaned or
rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may retain some product
residues. Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact
with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. See Section 8 for
information on appropriate personal protective equipment.
