Handling and Storage Guidance for Petrolatum (petroleum), hydrotreated; Petrolatum; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a semi-solid from dewaxed paraffinic residual oil treated with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. It consists predominantly of saturated microcrystalline and liquid hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C20.]

Petrolatum (petroleum), hydrotreated; Petrolatum; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a semi-solid from dewaxed paraffinic residual oil treated with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. It consists predominantly of saturated microcrystalline and liquid 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 Petrolatum (petroleum), hydrotreated; Petrolatum; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a semi-solid from dewaxed paraffinic residual oil treated with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. It consists predominantly of saturated microcrystalline and liquid 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.

This information is provided for reference only. Always consult the official Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and applicable national regulations before handling this substance.
