Section 6 - Health Hazard Information
Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation (when the product is thermally degraded)
Target Organs: Upper respiratory tract.
Acute Effects/Chronic Effects:
Solid product: Acute and chronic health effects are not expected as long as good industrial hygiene and safety precautions are
followed.
Hot molten product:
Inhalation: At elevated temperatures dense fumes may develop which can cause respiratory tract irritation and other breathing
disorders.
Eye: Contact with hot product will cause burns to the eyes.
Skin: Skin contact with hot material may result in severe burns.
Ingestion: No significant adverse effects are anticipated. If swallowed in large quantities, this material can obstruct the
intestine.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list this product as a carcinogen.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Inhalation: HOT MOLTEN product: Get medical attention if nasal, throat or lung irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses. Hold eyelids apart. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of low-pressure water for at least
15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. HOT MOLTEN product: Cool burns with plenty of low-pressure
water. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: HOT MOLTEN product: Immediately cool skin with water and cold packs for at least 15 minutes. Do NOT put
ice directly on the skin. Do NOT attempt to remove solidified wax from the skin as severe tissue damage may result. Get
immediate medical attention. See Note to Physician.
Ingestion: Not an ingestion hazard under anticipated conditions of use. For accidental ingestion: If conscious, drink one to two
glasses of water (8-16 oz.). Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Note to Physicians: For HOT MOLTEN or HOT LIQUID product: Material should not be forcibly pulled from the skin.
Mineral oil may be used to loosen and soften the material.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of mists
and/or vapors below the recommended exposure limits (see below). An eye wash station and safety shower should be located
near the work-station.
Respiratory Protection: The need for respiratory protection is not anticipated under normal use conditions and with adequate
ventilation. If elevated airborne concentrations above applicable workplace exposure levels are anticipated, a NIOSH-approved
organic vapor respirator equipped with a dust/mist prefilter should be used.
Protective Clothing/Equipment:
Hand Protection: When handling product at elevated temperatures, use heat-resistant gloves. With product at ambient
temperatures, use disposable nitrile, neoprene or butyl rubber gloves with repeated or prolonged use.
Body Protection: Prevent skin contact when handling heated material. Use insulated, heat-resistant clothing such as apron or
slicker suit.
Eye Protection: Use a full-face shield and safety glasses if handling heated material. With product at ambient temperatures,
use safety glasses equipped with side shields.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
General Hygienic Practices: Avoid breathing dust, vapor or mist. Avoid contamination of food, beverages, or smoking
materials. Wash thoroughly after handling, and before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing promptly
and clean thoroughly before reuse.
Occupational Exposure Guidelines:
Substance: Paraffin Wax Fume ACGIH STEL: 2 mg/m3 NIOSH TWA: 2 mg/m3
Section 9 - Special Precautions and Comments
Handling Precautions: Use normal precautions when handling hot molten liquid solutions. Do not breathe fumes or vapor
from heated material. Do not allow hot material to contact skin. With the product at ambient temperatures, avoid creating and
breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage Requirements: Store at ambient temperatures in closed containers. This material can catch fire if overheated. Do not
heat this material above the flash point. Keep away from flame and open electrical coils.
