- Applications
TOXIMUL TA surfactants are ethoxylated tallow amines with approximately two to fifteen moles of ethylene oxide. They were developed for use as emulsifiers for a variety of pesticide
formulations. They can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants.

TOXIMUL TA series surfactants are approved for use as inert ingredients under U.S. EPA 40 CFR 180.920.
Safety & Health
- Health Effects
The products are expected to be slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ > 1000 mg/kg) and may be corrosive to skin and eyes.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
TOXIMUL TA-2 is available in drums (400 lb, 181 kg) and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling TOXIMUL TA surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials.
- Bulk Storage Information: Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 130°F (54°C) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
- TOXIMUL TA surfactants which have been stored in drums at temperatures below 60°F (16°C) may thicken or solidify. TOXIMUL TA-2 is a viscous liquid below 75°F (24°C). The surfactants may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and Exposure mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
