I have tried googling as well as the Toxnet database and not gotten any results that seem to exactly match the chemical name, and there's nothing on Toxnet for the CAS number. You say you have an SDS and the manufacturer on the SDS can't find the chemical? It may have been discontinued and their (likely relatively new) database/ERP system did not have that product number loaded into it; or the company has been sold numerous times and this is a legacy product (does the SDS have a date on it?).

Have you tried scanning/faxing the SDS to the mfg? If that still doesn't help them locate safety/waste handling information--and it sounds like the SDS you have doesn't include that info because why would you be spending time figuring this out--I don't know what else is possible. You could try calling a hazwaste vendor to see if they've handled this before...

Good luck and please let us know how you manage this--

All,

I am stymied here. I have a customer who presented a vessel that previously contained a material with the CAS number 1417782-28-5 for cleaning. The chemical name on the SDS is "Ethanone, 1-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-". I tried to look it up on the CAS site and got "No Results".. I called the manufacturer and they couldn't find the product either by CAS number or product number. They said they would get back to me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just want to know if I can safely wash this vessel without harming my employees, the environment, or the downstream POTW. Thanks!
