Catalog

On the Foswiki (in German, login with TUM ID), you can find our catalogs of all available products

• Chemicals
• Standard gases
• Devices and materials

Chemicals

Transportation:

• Chemicals should generally be transported in buckets.
• Some chemicals require additional packaging (transport containers: wide-mouth drums with red lids). You can bring these containers with you or purchase them together with the chemical.
• Chemical containers should be labeled with the full name (no abbreviations) of the chemical and the corresponding GHS symbol.

Borrowable chemicals:

• Maximum loan period: one week
• Borrowed chemicals must be returned by the end of each quarter, otherwise they will be billed as part of the billing process.

Solvents drawn from large drums via the solvent filling system:

Gases (compressed gas cylinders)

NOTE: These are rental cylinders that must be returned within 3 years at the latest (preferably after a maximum of 2 years), regardless of how much gas was used during this time.

Our standard gases are always delivered on Mondays. If you need special gases, blends, or test gases, please send an email to: zmv(at)ch.tum.de. 

Delivery time for special gases is approximately 6-8 weeks.

Registration / authorization to participate in the disposal processes

Individuals and workgroups authorized to purchase materials from the central Naterials Management System are also authorized to handle disposal.

You can collect empty containers (canisters/bins) and return the filled containers for the following hazardous waste types:

• Chemically contaminated equipment
• Chemically contaminated equipment containing bromine/iodine
• Liquid waste - Basic salt solutions
• Liquid waste - Acidic salt solutions
• Liquid waste - Salt solutions containing bromine/iodine
• Liquid waste - Halogen-free solvents
• Liquid waste - Halogen-containing solvents
• Liquid waste - Halogen-containing solvents containing bromine/iodine

In the Laboratory

You have been provided with properly labeled containers for the disposal of your waste. This labeling is an important component for the proper storage and removal of waste. Therefore, the following applies:

• Under no circumstances may the user alter the container labeling in any way!
• The containers may only be filled with waste that conforms to the labeling.

Before disposing of the containers, the following points must be observed:

• The containers are tightly closed and tested for leaks.
• The labeling is complete and undamaged.
• The containers have no external adhesions.
• The containers must be within the permissible age range!*

*The containers are stamped (similar to a TÜV stamp). This shows the month of production in the outer ring and the year in the center. The containers are approved for 5 years. Therefore, for disposal, the container must be "approved" for at least another 6 months, since adequate storage is required even before removal.

Logging in to the computer in the hazardous waste storage facility

To collect empty containers or drop off hazardous waste, first log in to the computer on site: Type in your TUM ID on the keyboard and identify yourself with a photo ID (e.g., a personnel card). Please select the "DISPOSAL" account from the pull-down menu. If this account isn't available, you can also use your workgroup's default account.
