Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

First-aid measures

Solid None

Liquid(molten wax) Action as for burns. Cool affected parts with cold water. Do

not remove solidified wax from skin. Seek medical attention.

Powder Eyes – flush with plenty of water.

Vapours Inhalation – take affected person to fresh air.

Fire-fighting measures

Flammability of the product Combustible at high temperature

Products of combustion Carbon oxides (CO, CO2)

Fire fighting media and instructions

Small fire Dry chemical powder

Large fire Water spray, fog or foam

Do not use water jet.

Protective equipment (fire) Approved/certified respirator or equivalent

Specific hazards Incomplete combustion produces fumes, flue gases, carbon

monoxide

Additional information Apply cold water in order to cool containers exposed to

danger.

Accidental release measures

Small spill and leak Allow liquid to solidify. Use appropriate tools to put the spilled

solid in a convenient waste disposal container.

Large spill and leak Liquid – remove persons to safety. Do not allow solid or liquid

to enter drains, sewers, surface water or confined spaces.

Remove solid material mechanically.

Handling and storage

Handling Avoid breathing dust. Pneumatic conveying of this product

could lead to the production of fine material, which increases

the risk of dust explosions. The pipes and ducts should be

made from conductive material and properly earthed.

Storage Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in al cool, wellventilated

area.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure limits (fumes) NIOSH/ACGIH (United States, 2002) TWA: 2mg/m3

Engineering controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other

engineering controls to keep airborne levels below

recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate

dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to

airborne contaminants below the exposure limits. Molten wax

should not be exposed to water, as it causes violent steam

explosions on molten wax.

Personal Protective equipment

Solid Not required.

Liquids Hands – heat resistant gloves

Eyes – safety glasses, goggles or face shield

Body – protective clothing

Feet – safety boots

Dust/vapour Respiratory - approved dust mask or vapour respirator should

be worn in areas of high concentrations of dust/vapour.

Stability and reactivity

Conditions to avoid Prolonged storage 50°C above congealing point may

interfere with quality. Store away from amines and

ammonium compounds.

Incompatibility with substances Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents

Hazardous decomposition products Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and soot in the

case of incomplete combustion

Disposal considerations

Waste information Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state

and local environment control regulations.

European waste catalogue (EWC) recommends disposal according to EWC 12 01 12 (spent

waxes and fats).
