Petrolatum; Petrolatum; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a semi-solid from dewaxing paraffinic residual oil. It consists predominantly of saturated crystalline and liquid hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C25.]

Petrolatum; Petrolatum; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a semi-solid from dewaxing paraffinic residual oil. It consists predominantly of saturated crystalline and liquid hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C25.] is classified as potentially carcinogenic. Exposure must be minimised using engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation, closed systems). Biological and medical monitoring may be required. Refer to the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 for occupational exposure limits.

This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP. Facilities handling Petrolatum; Petrolatum; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a semi-solid from dewaxing paraffinic residual oil. It consists predominantly of saturated crystalline and liquid hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C25.] should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
