: Used primarily in industrial water treatment, such as boilers, steam lines, and cooling systems. Key Ingredients : Contains Sodium Nitrite (CAS 7632-00-0). Critical Safety Information
In older MSDS versions, TRAC 115 was often classified simply as an irritant. The SDS (post-GHS alignment) typically includes:
: Typically clear to distinct yellow liquid. Standard Packaging : 25 kg cans or 37 kg commercial drums.
Keep the product out of reach of children and strictly for industrial use only . 3. Application and Usage
The represents a significant shift in how this common RO antiscalant is viewed from a safety and environmental standpoint. Where older versions suggested a relatively benign profile, the latest document clearly warns of irreversible eye damage, aquatic toxicity, and new chemical incompatibilities.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe mist or vapors. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Because Nalco Water enforces strict proprietary compliance, updated Safety Data Sheets are not publicly hosted on open-source web channels. Instead, official copies must be requested directly through the official Ecolab SDS Request Portal . Below is an exhaustive breakdown of the chemical characteristics, critical hazards, handling protocols, and GHS alignment detailed in the modern Nalco TRAC 115 profile. Comprehensive Product Overview
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Get medical attention.
Industrial corrosion inhibition and scale management. Physical Form: Bright yellow liquid.
Keep containers tightly closed and store them in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat. Incompatibilities:
According to the NEW MSDS , it is classified as causing serious eye irritation (Category 2A) and may cause skin allergic reactions. It is not flammable, not an acute toxin, and not a carcinogen. It requires standard industrial hygiene precautions.
Contact with nitrates or nitrites (common in some fertilizer plants) may form nitrosamines – a potential carcinogen.
The NEW MSDS places greater emphasis on environmental protection:
An SDS is the primary source of information for the safe handling of a chemical product. While the exact data for TRAC 115 cannot be displayed here, a standard Nalco SDS is organized into 16 sections. The following table outlines what you can expect to find in each section for a product like TRAC 115.
| Property | Value (New Data) | | :--- | :--- | | Appearance | Clear to pale yellow liquid | | pH (100%) | 2.5 – 3.5 (strongly acidic) | | Specific gravity | 1.12 – 1.18 @ 77°F (25°C) | | Viscosity | < 50 cP | | Solubility in water | 100% miscible | | VOC content | 0% |
