Sensitive to heat. Dintroanilines can be
explosive and are strong oxidizers. Contact with reducing
agents, other strong oxidizers or, nitrosylsulfuric acid may
cause fire or explosion
Do not discharge into drains
or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste
using a licensed disposal contractor to an approved landfill.
Contact a licensed disposal facility about surplus and nonrecyclable solutions. Burn in a chemical incinerator
equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Extra care must
be exercised as the material in an organic solvent is highly
flammable. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies
for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Incineration
with effluent gas scrubbing is recommended. Containers
must be disposed of properly by following package label
directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA
office. Do not reuse container
