Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
Standard Packaging

BTC 1210-80% is available in 55 gallon drums (400 lb, 181 kg), in totes (2204 lbs, 1 MT) 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. Avoid contact with eyes, nose and skin contact. Gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and face shield should be worn when handling BTC products. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
  • Standard Packaging: BTC 1210-80% is available in 55 gallon drums (400 lb, 181 kg), in totes (2204 lbs, 1 MT) and in bulk quantities. It is recommended that BTC products be stored in sealed containers and kept 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 in fiberglass having 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 at room temperature between 77 - 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.
