EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE!

  • INHALATION
    		• Cough. Sore throat.
    		Local exhaust or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest.
  • SKIN
    		• Redness. Pain.
    		Protective gloves.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
  • EYES
    		• Redness. Pain.
    		Safety spectacles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION
    		• Nausea. Vomiting.
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.

    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
    		Separated from strong oxidants, food and feedstuffs.
    		Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.
    UN Hazard Class: 6.1
    UN Packing Group: III

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     COLOURLESS TO YELLOW SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride, phosgene. Reacts with strong oxidants causing fire hazard.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV: ppm; 5 mg/m3 (as TWA) (skin) (ACGIH 1996).
    MAK: ppm; 5 mg/m3 (skin) (ACGIH 1995).


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

    INHALATION RISK:
     Evaporation at 20░C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
     The substance irritates the eyes and the skin.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     The substance may have effects on the liver , resulting in liver impairment.
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Boiling point: 304-354░C
    Melting point: 93░C
    Density: 1.58
    Solubility in water: none
    		Vapour pressure, Pa at 20░C: <133
    Relative vapour density (air = 1): 8
    Flash point: 200░C o.c.
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    DATA
         		This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to crustacea. In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in fish. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment because it persists in the environment.
    NOTES
    Halowax, Nibren wax and seekay wax are trade names.
