Dear Mr. Gosselin:
This responds to your letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the classification of hazardous materials. Specifically, you ask how Resin Solution containing Di(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) Peroxydicarbonate and Tert-Butyl Peroxybenzoate in a felt/glass constructed liner with a thin film coating should be classified. Your understanding is that the compound resin product in a felt/glass constructed liner should be classified as "Resin Solution, UN 1866, Class 3, PG III."
As specified in § 173.22 of the HMR, a shipper is responsible for properly classifying, packaging, marking, and labeling a hazardous material for transportation in commerce. This Office does not typically perform this function. The hazard class of a material is determined based on the chemical composition and hazard properties of the material. If your material meets the definition of any of the hazard classes or is a hazardous substance, a marine pollutant or a hazardous waste, it is regulated under the HMR. Therefore, if the material you have described remains in its liquid form, it should continue to be classified as a "Resin Solution, UN 1866, Class 3, PG III."
I hope this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
T. Glenn Foster
