BTC® 1010-80% are cationic materials for formulation into antimicrobial products for use in: agricultural/farm premises, structures, buildings, and equipment; dairy farm milk handling facilities, equipment, storage rooms, houses, and sheds; food processing plant, food handling, food distribution equipment and premises; mushroom houses/empty premises and equipment; egg handling equipment and rooms, egg washing treatment; poultry processing plant equipment/premises, meat processing plant/equipment, eating establishment premises and equipment; commercial, institutional, and industrial premises and equipment (floors, walls, storage areas); domestic dwellings, food handling areas, bathroom premises (hard surfaces), indoor premises; medical, institutional, critical care and noncritical care premises and laundry. For formulation into antimicrobial products for use in air conditioner/refrigeration condensate water systems, air washer and industrial scrubbing systems, once-through and recirculating industrial/commercial cooling water systems, pulp/paper mill water systems, swimming pools, golf/commercial turf/lawns, golf courses, greenhouses/nurseries, fountains/water displays/decorative ponds/standing water, disposal water, sewage treatment systems, spas, gas/oil drilling muds/packer fluids, gas/oil recovery injection water systems, gas/oil pipeline maintenance and gas/oil fracturing fluid systems. For formulation into wood preservation, and wood preservative-seasoned wood pressure/thermal treatment (and non-pressure treatment (joinery/remedial) - {BTC 1010 only}) and sapstain treatment; materials preservative, paper (stored) and papermaking (nonfood contact). Formulators using this product are responsible for providing data for the EPA registration of their formulated products.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
- All components of BTC 1010 quaternaries are on the following countries inventories; Europe (EINECS 230-525- 2), Japan (ENCS 9-1971), Canada (DSL 7173-51-5), Australia (AICS 7173-51-5), Korea (ECL Serial No. KE- 10281), Philippines (PICCS 7173-51-5) and China (IECSC 7173-51-5). It is the responsibility of the end-user to review the chemical control regulations for each country to insure compliance.
- BTC 1010 quaternaries are cleared under 40CFR180.940, tolerance exemptions for active and inert ingredients for use in antimicrobial formulations (food contact surface sanitizing solutions).
Safety & Health
- Toxicity
BTC® 1010-80% products are moderately toxic orally (LD₅₀ = 50-500 mg/kg) and corrosive to skin and eyes at 50% active.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
BTC products are available in 55 gallon drums {400 lb, (182 kg) } and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Handle liquid BTC products with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in well ventilated area. Refer to registered label for additional storage and handling information. It is recommended that BTC products be stored in sealed containers in a cool, dry place. If material is frozen, it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
- Bulk Storage Information: BTC quaternaries can be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Contact between quaternaries and anionic materials must be avoided. At use dilution, BTC quaternaries are non-corrosive to most plastics, natural rubber, stainless steel, monel metal, iron, brass, aluminum, lead and tin; however, BTC quaternaries as supplied, may be corrosive to the materials listed above.
- Liquid BTC products should be stored between 85 - 120°F. An internal hairpin coil of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel. Rubber hoses with Teflon cross-linked polyethylene with 316 S.S. fittings are recommended for loading and unloading.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
