4 . FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if breathing problems develop.

Skin Contact:

In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eye Contact:

In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion:

First aid is not normally required if a small amount of solid materialis swallowed. If molten material is swallowed seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Information for Doctor Symptoms Caused by Exposure:

Inhalation: Vapours emitted from molten wax may cause respiratory irritation. Skin contact: Direct contact with molten material may cause thermal burns.

Eye contact: Direct contact with molten material may cause thermal burns. Vapors from molten wax may cause watering of the eyes.

Ingestion: Ingestion of molten material may cause thermal burns. Ingestion of large quantities will produce a laxative effect and may be irritating to the digestive tract.

5 . FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, sand and water fog.

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical:

This material may burn but will not ignite readily.

Hazardous combustion products include oxides of carbon and small amounts of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen.

Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters:

Wear Safe Work Australia approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.

6 . ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:

Wear Safe Work Australia approved respiratory protection and full protective clothing. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area. Do not breathe vapours. Ensure adequate ventilation. Extinguish all sources of ignition. Avoid sparks and open flames. No smoking.

Environmental Precautions:

In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:

Sweep up and place in a suitable container for subsequent disposal. Do not generate dust. Provide adequate ventilation.

7 . HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling:

Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of dust /vapours. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure.

Conditions for Safe Storage:

Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Protect from heat, sparks, open flames and other sources of ignition. Keep away from strong oxidising agents.

8 . EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Standards:

8002-74-2 Paraffin waxes and Hydrocarbon waxes

NES TWA: 2 mg/m³

Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapour below occupational exposure standards.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Respiratory Protection:

No respiratory protection is required when working with the solid material. If airborne concentrations of wax fumes generated from molten wax, are expected, a Safe Work Australia approved air purifying respirator with a dust/mist/fume filter may be used. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information.

Product Name: PARAFFIN WAX AND HYDROCARBON WAXES – FULLY REFINED AND/OR SEMI REFINED

Skin Protection:

Not normally required for solid material. The use of thermally resistant gloves and protective clothing is recommended when there is potential for exposure to molten wax. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 2161, 2210.1 and 2210.2 for more information.

Eye and Face Protection: Safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1336 and 1337 for more information.
