Safety-Kleen 105 Solvent: Product or Hazardous Waste?

The primary constituent of Safety-Kleen 105 Solvent is mineral spirits, which is a complex mixture of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons obtained from the distillation of crude oil. To this Safety-Kleen adds an antistatic agent and a green dye. The product is called "105 Solvent" because its flashpoint is supposedly 105° Fahrenheit, which would render it a combustible rather than a flammable material under various regulations.
Safety-Kleen 105 Solvent is contaminated with multiple carcinogenic chemicals, including benzene, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, methylene chloride, chlorinated benzenes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
