SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye contact Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. If eye irritation persists, consult a
specialist.

Skin contact Cool melted product on skin with plenty of water. Do not remove solidified product. In
case of burns by molten product medical treatment is necessary.

Inhalation Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention.

Ingestion If symptoms persist, call a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.

SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
Fire/explosion Burning produces irritant fumes. Avoid dust formation. For waxes in coarse powder form,
ST Class = 1. Severity of dust explosion is moderate. Dust may form explosive mixture in
air.
Suitable Water fog, Foam, Dry powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sand, Do not use a solid water
extinguishing media stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Protective equipment Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

and precautions for
firefighters

Further information Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Methods and Evacuate the area and eliminate all sources of ignition. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air
materials for (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite.
containment and Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Non-sparking tools should be used.
cleaning up Prevent product from entering drains.

Spill precautions Material can create slippery conditions.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Safe handling advice Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Minimize dust generation
and accumulation. Dust can form an explosive mixture in air. Dry powders can build
static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations.
Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert
atmospheres. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Molten wax should not be
exposed to water, as it causes violent steam explosions on molten wax.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING MEASURES
Air contaminant levels should be controlled below the PEL or TLV for this product (see
Exposure Guidelines). It is recommended that all dust control equipment such as local
exhaust ventilation and material transport systems involved in handling of this product
contain explosion relief vents or an explosion suppression system or an oxygen deficient
environment.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Eyes Wear as appropriate: Goggles, Face-shield

Skin Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.

Wear as appropriate: Heat resistant gloves Impervious gloves

Inhalation When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use
appropriate certified respirators. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection.
