Dear Mr. Canterbury:
This letter is in response to your December 12, 2019, email requesting clarification of the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the proper
shipping name for a compound containing a mixture of hydrocarbons. You state that the safety
data sheet (SDS) you included in your email lists the technical names as “(Lithium
Diisopropylamide, Heptane (C7 hydrocarbon mixture)).” Specifically, you ask whether the
words “C7 hydrocarbon mixture” must appear as a part of the hazmat shipping description on the
shipping paper.
The answer is no. The addition of “C7 hydrocarbon mixture” is not required because it is
redundant with the listed technical name Heptane. Note that technical names must be included in
parentheses with the hazardous material shipping description and generally, at least two
components which most predominantly contribute to the hazard(s) of the mixture or solution
must be entered on the shipping paper. See § 172.203(k).
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Dirk Der Kinderen
Chief, Standards Development Branch

DOT / PHMSA Team
We have a difference of opinion within our team here at Albemarle as to how to list the technical name for this
compound and respectively submit this request for your advice.
The attached SDS list the technical name as (Lithium diisopropylamide, Heptane(C7 hydrocarbon mixture))
Another option being considered is (Tetrahydrofuran, Lithium Diisopropylamide, Heptane)
Please let me know if you need any additional information and note my contact info and mailing address are below.
Thank you and have a great day!
Just some notes for my personal ref
49 CFR 171.8
Technical name means a recognized chemical name or microbiological name currently used in scientific and
they readily identify the general chemical group, or microbiological group. Examples of acceptable generic chemical
technical handbooks, journals, and texts. Generic descriptions are authorized for use as technical names provided
descriptions are organic phosphate compounds, petroleum aliphatic hydrocarbons and tertiary amines. For
proficiency testing only, generic microbiological descriptions such as bacteria, mycobacteria, fungus, and viral
samples may be used. Except for names which appear in subpart B of part 172 of this subchapter, trade names may
not be used as technical names.
172.203 (K)(1)

at least two components most predominately contributing to the hazards of the mixture or solution must be entered

Hello Alice and Ikeya,
The requester spoke with Lynsey in the HMIC. She pointed him to the guidance in 172.101(c)(10) about
using the two components most predominantly contributing to the hazard and that it is the shipper's
responsibility to properly classify. He insisted on moving forward with a LOl. After looking at his LOI, I
gave him a call to clarify exactly what his question was and to provide him with letters 14-0244 and 03-
0189 essentially, he still wants to verify his letter but I got a better idea for what he is looking for.
In the request, he lists the two options for technical names, his main question is on the inclusion of "C7
hydrocarbon mixture" after heptane. The SDS places it after the heptane in section 14 but he is unsure if
he is required to include that because C7 hydrocarbon mixture is basically synonymous with heptane.
Please contact our office with any questions.
Thank you,
Kathryn, HMIC
