- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
- BIO-TERGE PAS-8S is exempt from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.940a, 180.940b, & 180.940c at end-use concentrations of no more than 121 ppm, 781 ppm, and 821 ppm, respectively, when ready for use. These CFR sections should be consulted for complete context before any conclusion is made as to the allowed regulated use.
- BIO-TERGE PAS-8S meets the U.S. EPA Safe Choice Program’s surfactant screen.
Safety & Health
- Toxicity
BIO-TERGE PAS-8S is practically non-toxic orally (LD₅₀> 5 g/kg) and it causes moderate skin and eye irritation at 31% active. The product is not a dermal sensitizer.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Standard Packaging
BIO-TERGE PAS-8S is available in bulk and in 55-gallon drums.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Handle BIO-TERGE PAS-8S with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in well ventilated area. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged skin contact should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- It is recommended that BIO-TERGE PAS-8S be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If it cools below the cloud point, the product will separate. Once separated it is difficult to reconstitute even with heat and agitation. When separated the chemical properties are not affected. BIO-TERGE PAS-8S that has been stored cold may develop a haze. This is normal and does not affect its performance.
- Bulk Storage Information: BIO-TERGE PAS-8S should be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Material should be stored between 60 – 80°F (16 – 27°C). An internal hairpin coil of stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Mild agitation is required if the tank is heated. Material is heat sensitive and agitation prevents localized heating. Heating may not be required for inside storage if the tank is turned over frequently. Stainless steel 316 is preferred for pumps, pipes and transfer lines.
