Ink sludges containing chromium and lead include solvent sludges, caustic sludges, water
sludges from cleaning tubs, equipment used in the formulation of ink from pigments, driers, soaps,
and stabilizers containing chromium and lead. All ink sludges have the waste code “K086.”
Examples of ignitable wastes are spent solvents, solvent still bottoms, epoxy resins and adhe-
sives, and waste inks containing flammable solvents. Unless specified, all ignitable wastes have the
waste code “D001.”
Acetone F003
Benzene F005
n-Butyl alcohol F003
Chlorobenzene F002
Cyclohexanone F003
Ethyl acetate F003
Ethyl benzene F003
Ethyl ether F003
Ethylene dichloride D001
Methanol F003
Methyl isobutyl ketone F003
Petroleum distillates D001
Xylene F003
Used lead-acid batteries should be reported only if they are not recycled. Specific wastes from
used batteries include:

Lead dross D008
Spent acids D002
Lead-acid batteries D008
Pesticides, wastewaters, sludges, and by-products from pesticide formulators are another cate-
gory of wastes produced by SQGs. The pesticides listed below are hazardous and those marked with
an asterisk ( ) have been designated acutely hazardous (40 CFR 261.32).

Reactive wastes (40 CFR 2612.23) all have the waste code “D003.” The following materials are
examples of wastes commonly considered to be reactive:
Acetyl chloride
Chromic acid
Cyanides
Hypochlorites
Organic peroxides
Perchlorates
