Hattingh\nAnodamine, Inc.\n2590 Oakrnont Drive, Suite 3 10\nRound Rock, TX 78665\nRef. No.: 08-0103\nDear Mr. Hattingh:\nThis is in response to your April 14,2008 letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous\nMaterials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 17 1 - 180) to cyclohexylamine in concentrations of\n13-15 percent.\nIt is the shipper's responsibility to properly class and describe a hazardous material. This Office\ndoes not perform that function. The definitions for flammable liquid and corrosive liquid are\nfound in 8 8 1 73.120 and 1 73.136 respectively. If you determine that your concentration does not\nmeet either hazard class, and presuming the solution does not meet any other hazard class under\nthe HMR, the material would not be regulated. In response to your second question, if the\nmaterial meets the definitions of a flammable liquid and a corrosive liquid, and is a packing\ngroup 11, then the entry \"Cyclohexylarnine, 8, (3), UN2357, PGII\" is an appropriate description.\nI hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact\nthis office.\nHattie L. Mitchell\nChief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n- 1 -\nUSDOT-PHMSA\nPHH- 10 East Building 2nd floor\n1200 New Jersey Ave.\nSouth East Washington DC 20590\nMonday, April 14,2008\nTo whom it may concern\nHazmat Classification\nWe recently placed a call to your offices and spoke with a very helpful person regarding\nclassification of our proprietary formulations used as metal corrosion inhibitors in water steam\nand condensate cycles.\nThe ooodIooUooTM proprietary formulations contain several trace concentrations of known\nnon-toxic, non-hazardous raw material components, blended in to the final water mixture to\nproduce the final formulations. The main ingredient however, requiring clarification and/or\nclassification is cyclohexylamine. The individual formulations across the range contain varying\nconcentrations of cyclohexylamine diluted in a high purity water solution to yield a final\nconcentration maximum of 13 - 15 % active as typical.\nI would like to kindly request your support with obtaining an official written response to enable\nus to ensure compliance - does a 13 - 15 % diluted solution of cyclohexylamine in 85 - 87 O h\nhigh purity water carry HAZMAT classification and if so what would be the required\npacking group, UN No, Description, Class etc?\nIf the material and final formulations having the above composition would non be subject to\nDOT regulation, please kindly send an official letter to our offices to verify this,\nAll formulctions are packaged in 15 gal, 55 gal and 264 gal UN approved containers.\nI look forward to your soonest response and thank you and your office for your kind support.\nBest Regards\nPaul R.
