Safety & Health
- Toxicity
- AMMONYX 4 is slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ is between 0.5 and 1.25 g/kg in rats), and causes skin and severe eye irritation at concentrations up to 25% active.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
- AMMONYX 4 is available in bulk and in 55 gallon drums (400 lb/181 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety glasses) should be used when handling AMMONYX 4. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material. It is recommended that AMMONYX 4 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use. Bulk Storage Information: AMMONYX 4 can be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Contact between quaternaries and anionic materials, soap and sulfated oils must be avoided. AMMONYX 4 should be stored below 120°F (49°C). An internal hairpin coil of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used ifheating is required. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
