Slack wax (petroleum), clay-treated; Slack wax; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treatment of a petroleum slack wax fraction with natural or modified clay in either a contacting or percolation process. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C20.]

Slack wax (petroleum), clay-treated; Slack wax; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treatment of a petroleum slack wax fraction with natural or modified clay in either a contacting or percolation process. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C20.] 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 Slack wax (petroleum), clay-treated; Slack wax; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treatment of a petroleum slack wax fraction with natural or modified clay in either a contacting or percolation process. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C20.] should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
