Hard to tell the ignitability of a liquid by looking at it. If you throw a
lit match on it and we no longer see your email correspondence, then we'll
all assume it was very flammable J Of course I am not serious. Sorry, I
was not able to find an MSDS from our system on this product. One should
also look at pH when dealing with liquids.

If ignitable it could also be a D001 waste. Don't you love RCRA? RCRA
ignitability is defined in a couple of ways. >24 % alcohol or <60C
flashpoint in penske martin closed cup flash test.

Chloroform 67-66-3 10,000 10 10 313 U044 20,000 (information from "list of
lists")
The U code means U-listed RCRA if unused and you need to dispose of it, even
in a mixture, it is a hazardous waste. If it is 'spent' chloroform, it
could still be D listed waste D022, TCLP , 6.0 mg/L. if tested above 6.0
mg/L for TCLP.

A question has arisen over disposal of a bottle of Green Oil, probably
manufactured in 1950 or earlier that comes from a now defunct pharmacy. Main
active ingredient is chloroform, percentage unknown. Thoughts? Also legality
as it does not appear to be a controlled drug.but not available for current
purchase?
