CHEMICAL SDS Sheets: Health Technologies Triple Two
Staff reference for handling, storing, and responding to spills of Triple Two, our most-used facility disinfectant.
At a Glance
GHS signal word: Danger. Triple Two is our most-used facility chemical, a quaternary ammonium disinfectant cleaner used across both campuses. Its own hazard statements are "Harmful if swallowed," "Causes skin irritation," and "Causes serious eye damage." Wear gloves and eye protection any time you handle it undiluted, keep it off skin and out of eyes, and never mix it with other chemicals in a bucket or bottle.

Hazard Identification
Triple Two carries three classifications on the sheet: Serious Eye Damage Category 1, Acute Toxicity (Oral) Category 4, and Skin Irritation Category 2. Its GHS signal word is Danger. The listed hazard phrases are: "Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye damage." Precautionary language from the sheet: "Keep out of reach of children. Read label before use. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection."
First Aid Measures
The SDS response phrases, quoted directly:
- Eyes: "Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for 15 minutes. Get immediate medical advice/attention."
- Swallowed: "Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical advice/attention."
- Skin: "Wash with plenty of water. If skin irritation occurs, get medical advice/attention."
- Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately, then get medical aid.
Section 4 adds that ingestion should never involve giving anything by mouth to an unconscious person, and that a conscious, alert person who has swallowed the product should be given 2 to 4 cupfuls of water before medical attention arrives. The note to physician is to treat symptomatically and supportively and to show the SDS to the doctor in attendance.
Handling and Storage
Do not get Triple Two in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Store it away from direct sunlight, protect containers against damage, and keep the container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid excess heat and high temperatures, and keep it away from anionic surfactants and strong oxidizing agents, both listed as incompatible materials. Handle it under normal industrial hygiene and safety practice, the same standard the sheet applies to every product on this list.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The sheet states that no special respiratory protection is required with normal use. Eye protection should be safety glasses, and hand protection should be rubber or neoprene gloves worn to prevent skin exposure. Wash hands thoroughly after handling, and keep the product off clothing since no specific protective-clothing guidance beyond gloves and eye protection is listed.
Spill Response
Use the personal protective equipment described above before approaching a spill. Absorb the spill with an inert material such as vermiculite, sand, or earth, then place the absorbed material in a suitable container for disposal. Observe federal, state, and local environmental regulations when disposing of the waste, and Partners Dogs practice: contain a spill before it reaches any floor drain.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Triple Two is a liquid, clear and green. Its pH runs 6.00 to 8.00 and its specific gravity falls between 0.995 and 1.005. Flash point, melting point, and boiling point are all listed as NA (not applicable), and the product is stable with no hazardous reactions expected under normal conditions. NFPA hazard ratings: Health 1, Flammability 0, Instability 0.
Where We Use It
Triple Two is the facility's most-used cleaning chemical, our general-purpose disinfectant for surfaces, floors, and common areas across both campuses. Because it sees more daily contact than any other product on this list, every staff member who cleans should know its hazard profile and first aid steps before their first shift, not read them for the first time after an incident.
