and other cellulosics

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.
