Specifically,\nyou ask whether you may use the shipping name \"Paint related material (UN1263)\" to describe\nacetone.\nThe answer is no. Generic shipping descriptions (e.g., Paint related material) are appropriate for\nmaterials not specifically listed by technical name in the § 172.101 Table. Acetone is specifically\nlisted by name in the § 172.101 Table. Therefore, the appropriate description for acetone is\n\"Acetone, 3, UN1090, PGII.\" I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding this issue, I hope it has\nnot caused you any inconvenience. I hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nShe Sillig\nDelmer F.
