HAZ-MAT Question For INGO Truckers

[2ADMNLOVER]

I'm thinking WATER based paint in BULK quantities is placardable as a " marine pollutant " , is this right ? I've been looking around the fmcsa site and can't find a straight answer , figures huh?

I Think just dangerous/flammable. Because it's still paint, and should be handled as paint If spilled. And disposed as paint

I think that would be " improper placarding " because it's water based and not flammable .

I am not a pro, I am thinking the same. I am leaning toward no placarding. If it was toxic or poison it should be labeled as such. Even though it is in bulk does not make it an environmental hazard. (yes it could do damage) If that was true dish soap would be a hazard. Dump that in an aquarium it will kill fish.

If you want to be sure the supplier of the item or the item should be marked with a hazard class. It should have a 4 digit UN number. With that number you look it up in a haz pocket guide. It would tell you about placarding and spill responses.

This is not the product you have but is a msds for water based paint. It is classified as non hazardous. Basically it says if it spills clean it up. Page 3 iata haz class...

You guys are probably right . There are some things that aren't considered " hazardous " until they're in bulk quantities and I was thinking this was one of them.

No placards required
