Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information
  • Handle liquid BTC products with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in well ventilated area.
  • Handling 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.
  • Liquid BTC products should be stored at room temperature between 77 - 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.
  • Bulk Storage Information: BTC quaternaries can be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or in fiberglass having 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.
