Safety Profile:

Bisoctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride is a cationic surfactant. It is harmful if swallowed and causes skin irritation and serious eye damage. May cause allergic skin reaction. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, must be worn when handling. Avoid breathing mist/vapors/aerosols. The substance is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Prevent environmental release. In case of contact, immediately rinse affected areas with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Always consult the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive handling and disposal guidelines.

Storage Requirements:

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area

Keep containers tightly closed

Protect from physical damage and extreme temperatures

Maintain relative humidity below 75%

Protect from weather influences and contamination

Transport & Packaging:

Bisoctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride is supplied in sealed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) drums of 25 kg or 50 kg capacity. Ensure containers remain upright during transportation and storage to prevent leakage. Keep away from incompatible materials during transport.
