DC 20590 Materials Safety Pipeline and Hazardous Administration SEP 3. 0 2015 Paul Dambek Hazmateam, Inc. 12 Kimball Hill Road Hudson, NH 03051-3915 Ref. No.: 15-0122 Dear Mr. Dambek: This is a response to your June 15, 2015 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the classification of an aerosol that may meet the definition of a poisonous material (Division 6.1) as a subsidiary hazard. In your letter, you state that you have an aerosol mixture that consists of six individual components of varying percentages (toluene 20-35%, silver 15-25%, dichloromethane 15-25%, propane 10-20%, isobutane 10-15%, and asbestos free talc 1-3%) and varying LCso and LD50 values. According to the information in your letter and the safety data sheet (SDS) you provided, you have identified your material as CHO-SHIELD® 4900, manufactured by Parker Hannifin Corporation with an SDS number of PHC-205 and product codes of: 52-01-4900- 0000; 52-02-4900-0000; 52-02-4900-0000E; 52-03-4900-0000. Further, the SDS indicates that the material has been classified as "UN1950, Aerosols, 2.1 (6.1)" when offered for in Division 6.1, Packing Group III, 2.1 (6.1)" when offered for transportation under the transportation under the HMR, and "UN1950, Aerosols, flammable, containing substances International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO TI). You question the accuracy of the aerosol mixture CHO-SHIELD® 4900 being classified as having a subsidiary hazard of poisonous material (Division 6.1), and therefore, disagree with the manufacturer's classification of this material. Your questions are paraphrased and answered as follows: Q1. Based on the LCso and LDso values of the six individual components listed in the SDS, does the aerosol mixture CHO-SHIELD® 4900 meet the definition of a poisonous material (Division 6.1) as a subsidiary hazard based on 49 CFR § 173.132(a)(1)? Al. In accordance with § 173.22, it is the shipper's responsibility to ensure that the material is properly classed and described in accordance with the HMR. We cannot make this determination based on the information you provided. Please work with Parker Hannifin Corporation to review its determination of what the LCso and LD50 values are for the final aerosol mixture CHO-SHIELD® 4900. 1 <<>> A poisonous material (Division 6.1), as defined in § 173.132 means (emphasis added) a material, other than a gas, which is known to be so toxic to humans as to afford a hazard to health during transportation, or which, in the absence of adequate data on human toxicity: (1) Is presumed to be toxic to humans because it falls within any one of the following categories when tested on laboratory animals (whenever possible, animal test data that has been reported in the chemical literature should be used): (i) Oral Toxicity. A liquid or solid with an LDso for acute oral toxicity of not more than 300 mg/kg. (ii) Dermal Toxicity. A material with an LDso for acute dermal toxicity of not more than 1000 mg/kg. (ili) Inhalation Toxicity. (A) A dust or mist with an LCso for acute toxicity on inhalation of not more than 4 mg/L; or (B) A material with a saturated vapor concentration in air at 20 °C (68 °F) greater than or equal to one-fifth of the LCso for inhalation of vapors of not more than 5000 mL/m?. acute toxicity on inhalation of vapors and with an LCso for acute toxicity on If the final aerosol mixture meets either of these criteria, it meets the definition of a Division 6.1 material. Q2. The criteria described in 49 CFR § 173.132(a)(2) is somewhat subjective: "... is an irritating material, with properties similar to tear gas, which causes extreme irritation, especially in confined spaces." Given that the aerosol only contains 25% (maximum) of dichloromethane in small (6 fluid ounce) cans, and there is no (+) sign listed in column (1) of the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) for dichloromethane, does CHO-SHIELD® 4900 meet the definition of a poisonous material (Division 6.1) as a subsidiary hazard based on 49 CFR § 173.132(a)(2)? A2. This Office cannot determine the answer to this question. Please see Al. Q3. Do you agree that the shipping description for CHO-SHIELD® 4900 should be "UN1950, Aerosols, 2.1" for all modes of transportation under both the HMR and the ICAO TI? A3. This Office cannot determine the answer to this question. Please see A1. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

East Building, 2nd Floor Washington, DC 20590-0001 Dear Mr. Betts: I am requesting a letter of interpretation on classification of an aerosol that contains Dichloromethane. This aerosol is currently conservatively classified as having a Division 6.1 subsidiary hazard and we are reconsidering this classification. Before my specific questions, please consider the following aerosol formula (and corresponding acute toxicity data): Chemical % INH RAT, LC50, 4HR ORAL RAT, LD50 Toluene 7585 ppm DERMAL RABBIT, LD50 20-35 (28.1 mg/L) (vapor) 5580 mg/kg 12125 mg/kg Silver 15-25 N/AV > 2000 mg/kg > 2000 mg/kg Dichloromethane 15-25 22170 ppm 1400 mg/kg (77.01 mg/L)(vapor) > 2000 mg/kg Propane 10-20 N/AV N/Ap (gas) N/Ap (gas) Isobutane 10-15 368000 ppm (mouse) N/Ap (gas) N/Ap (gas) Talc 1-3 N/AV (asbestos free) N/AV N/AV N/Av = not available; N/Ap = not applicable; Ref: Cho-Shield 4900 SDS, attached <<>> Next, consider the Division 6.1 classification criteria: §173.132 Class 6, Division 6.1—Definitions. gas, which is known to be so toxic to humans as to afford a hazard to health during transportation, or which, (a) For the purpose of this subchapter, poisonous material (Division 6.1) means a material, other than a in the absence of adequate data on human toxicity: tested on laboratory animals (whenever possible, animal test data that has been reported in the chemical (1) Is presumed to be toxic to humans because it falls within any one of the following categories when (i) Oral Toxicity. A liquid or solid with an LDe for acute oral toxicity of not more than 300 mg/kg. (ii) Dermal Toxicity. A material with an LDso for acute dermal toxicity of not more than 1000 mg/kg. mg/L; or (iii) Inhalation Toxicity. (A) A dust or mist with an LGs for acute toxicity on inhalation of not more than 4 ifth of the LCsfor acute toxicity on inhalation of vapors and with an LCso for acute toxicity on inhalation o (B) A material with a saturated vapor concentration in air at 20 °C (68 °F) greater than or equal to one- rapors of not more than 5000 mL/m*; o especially in confined spaces. (2) Is an irritating material, with properties similar to tear gas, which causes extreme irritation, Question 1. Each component of the formula has a LC50 or LD50 above the respective regulatory threshold described in 49 CFR 173.132 (a). Do you agree that based on the lowest LD50 and LC50 for any of the components above, the material would not be classified as Division 6.1? • Each component's oral and dermal LD50 values are well above 300 mg/kg & 1000 mg/kg, respectively. • The vapor LC50 for toluene, dichloromethane and isobutane are all well above 5000 ml/M3, the criteria for 173.132 (a)(1)(B). <<>> Question 2. The criteria described in 49 CFR 173.132 (a)(2) is somewhat subjective: "... is an irritating material, with properties similar to tear gas, which causes extreme irritation....". Dichloromethane, the only component in the formulation classified as a Division 6.1 material is diluted to a maximum of 25% in the formula. Each aerosol can is 6 fluid ounces. We believe the diluted Dichloromethane in such a small receptacle would not cause extreme irritation. Given that this formula only contains 25% (max) of dichloromethane in small (6 fluid ounce) cans, and there is no (t) sign listed in column (1) of the 172.101 table for Dichloromethane, do you agree that this formula would not be classified as a Division 6.1 material based on 49 CFR 173.132 (a)(2)? Question 3. If you agree with our conclusions described in Questions 1 and 2, do you agree the shipping description for this aerosol formula should be: UN 1950, Aerosols, 2.1 for all modes of transportation. Rather than: UN 1950, Aerosols, 2.1 (6.1) - 49 CFR UN 1950, Aerosols, Flammable, Containing Substances in Division 6.1, Packing Group III, 2.1(6.1) - IATA The Safety Data Sheet for this material is attached.
