Slack wax (petroleum), low-melting, clay-treated; Slack wax; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by the treatment of low-melting petroleum slack wax with bentonite for removal of trace polar constituents and impurities. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched chain hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C12.]

Slack wax (petroleum), low-melting, clay-treated; Slack wax; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by the treatment of low-melting petroleum slack wax with bentonite for removal of trace polar constituents and impurities. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched chain hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C12.] 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), low-melting, clay-treated; Slack wax; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by the treatment of low-melting petroleum slack wax with bentonite for removal of trace polar constituents and impurities. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched chain hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C12.] should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
