Skin: Inhaled: Advice to Doctor: Wash affected area with soap and water upon contact. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist. Treat symptomatically based on judgement of doctor and individual reactions of patient. Immediate medical attention may be required for extensive thermal burns from hot wax. No medical attention normally required for exposure to ambient temperature material. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 5.1 Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or water spray. 5.2 Special Firefighting Procedures Respiratory protection required for fire fighting personnel. 5.3 Special exposure hazards Nature of decomposition products not known. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Wear suitable protective gloves and clothing to prevent any contamination of skin, eyes and personal clothing. 6.2 Environmental procedures Do not allow material to enter drains. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Safe Handling Use normal precautions when handling hot molten liquid solutions. Do not breathe fumes or vapour from heated material. Do not allow hot material to contact skin. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Try to avoid creating dust. Storage Storage at ambient temperatures in closed containers. This material can catch fire if overheated. Do no heat this material above the flash point. Keep away from flames and open electrical coils. No chemical incompatibles. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Introductory remarks These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. While developing safe handling procedures, do not overlook the need to clean equipment and maintain and repair equipment. Waste resulting from these procedures should be handled in accordance to the section entitled Disposal Considerations. 8.1 Exposure Controls Always keep safety guards in place and wear eye protection whilst rotating a Blue Wax work piece. When machining Blue Wax observe all safety precautions applicable to machining metal, i.e. ensure that hair and loose clothing cannot become entangled with the work piece or machinery, wear eye protection and always have the safety guard in place whilst the machinery is operating. 8.2 Control parameters Components with workplace control parameters Wax Fume ACGIH STEL: 2 mg/m3 NIOSH TWA: 2 mg/m3 Revision 1, Page 1 of 2
8.3 Exposure controls Appropriate engineering controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of mists and/or vapours below the recommended exposure limits (see below). An eye wash station and safety shower should be located near the workstation. 8.3 Personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Use a full-face shield and safety glasses if handling heated material. With product at ambient temperatures, use safety glasses with side shields. 8.4 Skin protection Hand Protection When handling product at elevated temperatures, use heat-resistant gloves. With product at ambient temperatures, use disposable, 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. 8.5 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 vapour respirator equipped with a dust/mist pre filter should be used. 8.6 Safety Stations Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area. 8.7 General Hygienic Practices Avoid breathing dust, vapour 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 before reuse. 9.
