      C-Tech Corporation: uncompromising quality    


  We serve the world!


 

C Tech Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of Denatonium Benzoate  (the world’s bitterest known substance)

Adding as little as thirty parts of Denatonium Benzoate to one million parts of a liquid makes that liquid too bitter to be tolerated by most human subjects. This denaturant has been thus described as the bitterest compound known.

Denatonium Benzoate is used to denature Ethanol & added as an additive to Mono Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze.

First aid measures


Inhalation

Remove from exposure immediately. Use a bag valve mask or similar device to perform artificial respiration (rescue breathing) if needed. Get medical attention.
Skin contactRemove contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Wash with soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention, if needed.
Eye contactWash eyes immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical attention immediately.
IngestionIf vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. Get medical attention, if needed.

Fire fighting measures


Fire & explosion hazards

Slight fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode.
Extinguishing
Media
Regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam, large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire
Fighting
Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Dike for later disposal.
Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.

Section 6

Accidental release measure


Occupational release

Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Keep out of water supplies and sewers. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.

Section 8

Exposure control & personal protection


Exposure limits

DENATONIUM BENZOATE:
No occupational exposure limits established.
VentilationProvide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Eye
Protection
Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.
ClothingWear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
GlovesWear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
RespiratorUnder conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed.
Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum.
Consider warning properties before use.
You can use:
Any dust, mist, and fume respirator.
Any air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filter.
Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a dust, mist, and fume filter.
Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a
high-efficiency particulate filter.
For unknown concentrations or immediately dangerous to life or health:
Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape supply.
Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.
