Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: BTC products should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. If material is frozen, it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use. Prilled products should be stored in a cool, dry place in their original shipping container. Keep lid closed to prevent agglomeration.
  • Bulk Storage Recommendations: BTC quaternaries should 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 (29 – 49 °C). 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 stainless steel fittings are recommended for loading and unloading.
  • It is recommended that BTC 2125M products be stored in sealed containers kept in a well ventilated area away from sparks, fire, and open flame. Avoid overheating or freezing. Equipment should be grounded when transferring or using material. Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handing BTC 2125M products. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling BTC 2125M products.
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.
