"Function" is related to the inherent physical and chemical properties of the substance (e.g., degreaser, catalyst, plasticizer, ultraviolet absorber). "Application'' refers to the use of the substance in particular processes or products (e.g., a degreaser may be used for cleaning of fabricated metal parts). Following are some examples of how you should describe categories of use:

0 a disperse dye carrier for finishing polyester fibers

0 a cross-linking agent for epoxy-like coatings for metal surfaces

0 a flame retardant for surface application 01'.l cotton apparel, textile home furnishings, and exterior canvas products .

Where the substance is distributed from your site neati enter N/ A for not

. applicable.

  • For example:

Formulated Pro-

duct as Percent of Chem- Category of Use Manufactured ical Substance

Cross-linking agent none; distributed N/A

for epoxy-type neat coatings for metal

surfaces

Flame retardant for none; distributed N/A

Column (7)- Mark (x) to indicate if the category of use is site-limited. Also mark (x) to indicate whether the use is for industrial, commercial, and/or consumer use as

    • defined below. Mark more than one box, if appropriate. For example, a surfactant in an automobile wax may have a consumer use in liquid wax, a commercial use in.auto

    • washes, and an industrial use by automobile manu­ facturers.

Site-limited: The substance is used only on the contig­ uous property unit where it is manufactured and not intentionally distributed outside that site except for waste disposal. This includes all factories, storage space, and warehouses at the site. An example would be an inter­ mediate which is further reacted on-site to produce a chemical product.

lndustrial:The chemical substance or products containing the substance are used only at the site of other manufac­ turers or processors, e.g., textile dyeing, paint formula­ tion, use of a resin to manufacture an article.

Commercial: The chemical substance or products con­ taining the substance are used by a commercial enter­ prise providing a consumer service, e.g.; use by commer­ cial dry cleaning establishments, use by painting contractors, or use by roofers in commercial building

. construction.

Consumer: The chemical substance or products contain­ ing the substance are used by private individuals in or around a residence, or during recreation, or for any other personal use or enjoyment, e.g., automotive polish, dyed wearing apparel, household cleaners, etc.
