Disposing of n-butyl acetate

General Discussion

Love silicone 40a! creating large sheets of flexible rubber with integral threads and fasteners for several projects.

But how do I dispose of used solvent with n-butyl acetate? Same as IPA - just let it evaporate in the sunshine?

Hi @sdneiman,

great to hear that you enjoy printing with Silicone 40A :slight_smile: ! n-Butly Acetate and container as well as rinsing water need to be disposed of at an appropriate waste treatment site. My primary source of truth would always be the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the solvent supplier, as it provides essential information for the proper storage, handling, and disposal of n-butyl acetate. I would recommend disposing of n-butyl acetate through certified hazardous waste disposal services, ensuring full compliance with local environmental regulations and taking all necessary precautions to prevent any fire hazards.

I hope this is helpful for you. Let me know if you need further information.

Best regards,

Shiden Yohannes
