Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
- The international inventories (country clearances) of BTC 835 quaternaries can be found in Section 15 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). It is the responsibility of the formulator to review the chemical control regulations for each country where the end product is intended to be sold or used.
- BTC 835 quaternaries are cleared under 40CFR180.940 tolerance exemptions for active and inert ingredients for usein antimicrobial formulations (food contact surface sanitizing solutions).
- BTC 835 is available as Kosher Certified.
Safety & Health
- Health Effects
BTC 835 products is moderately toxic orally (LD50 is between 50 and 500 mg/kg) at 5% active and it causes moderate skin and extreme eye irritation at 5% active.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
BTC 835 is available in 55-gallon drums 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 Handling with eyes, nose or prolonged skin contact. 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 835 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 noncorrosive 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 crosslinked 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.
