- BTC 888 quaternaries are on the following country inventories; CASRNs 68424-85-1, 32426-11-2, 5538-94-3, 7173-51-5; United States (TSCA), Europe (EINECS 270-325-2; 251-035-5, 226-901-0, 230-525-2), Japan (ENCS 3-2694, 2-184, 2-184, 2-184), Canada (DSL), Australia (AICS), Philippines (PICCS), China (IECSC), New Zealand (NZIoC) and Korea (ECL KE-29999, KE-26732, KE-11982, KE-10281). It is the responsibility of the end-user to review the chemical control regulations for each country.
- BTC 888 quaternaries are cleared under EPA 40 CFR 180.940 for use in antimicrobial formulations (food-contact surface sanitizing solutions) on food processing equipment and utensils. Check regulations for end-use concentrations.
- BTC 888 quaternaries are available as Kosher Certified.
Safety & Health
- Health Effects
BTC 888 is moderately toxic orally (LD50 is between 50-500 mg/Kg) and causes severe skin and eye irritation.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
BTC 888 is available in 55 gallon drums {425 lb (193 kg) for BTC 888; 400 lb (182 kg) for BTC 888} and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Handle liquid BTC 888 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. 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 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 (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 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.
