BTC® 65 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; 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 premises; laundry; and wood preservative—seasoned wood pressure/thermal treatment and non-pressure treatment (joinery/remedial), and sapstain treatment. 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, and swimming pools. Formulators using this product are responsible for providing data for the EPA registration of their formulated products.

Safety & Health
- Toxicity
BTC® 65 are moderately to slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ between 50-500 mg/kg) and cause severe skin irritation at 2% active and minimal eye irritation at 0.3% active.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
BTC® 65 products are available in drums (425 lb, 193 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. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or skin. Gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and face shield should be worn when handling BTC products. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- 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 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.
