Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
- All components of the BIO-SOFT N25 Series products are listed in the following countries; the registration number of the active ingredient is listed in parentheses: United States (TSCA 68131-39-5), Europe (NLP 500-084-3), Canada (DSL 68131-39-51), Australia (AICS 68131-39-5), Korea (ECL KE-13388) and Philippines (PICCS 68131-39-5).
- The BIO-SOFT N25 Series is approved for use under EPA 40CFR 180.910, pre- and post-harvest, 180.930.
- BIO-SOFT N25-7 meets the U.S. EPA Safe Choice Program’s surfactant screen.
Safety & Health
- Toxicity
The BIO-SOFT N25 Series products are slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ ≥1800mg/kg). Undiluted the BIO-SOFT N25 Series products are severe skin and eye irritants while a 1% dilution generally causes slight to mild skin irritation.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
The BIO-SOFT N25 Series products are available in 55-gallon drums (450lb/205 kg) and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves, safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIO-SOFT N25 Series products. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or prolonged skin contact. Wash exposed areas thoroughly after handling material.
- While diluting the BIO-SOFT N25 Series products, as with all alcohol ethoxylates, they are prone to gelling. If the product is diluted into water, heating may be required to minimize or eliminate gel formation.
- It is recommended that the BIO-SOFT N25 Series products be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If the products are frozen, they should be heated gently and stirred to ensure they are homogeneous before use.
