Hazard Statements: May cause skin, eye, and mucous membrane irritation; possible effects on liver and kidney with chronic exposure
Precautionary Statements: Avoid skin and eye contact, wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat or drink during use, avoid release to environment
Potential Health Effects: Can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea if ingested; inhaling fumes from heated product may irritate respiratory tract
Main Component: Chlorinated Paraffin (C
Percent Range: 99% active ingredient
Chemical Formula: C15H26Cl12 (typical structure, actual mix may vary)—contains 70% chlorine by weight
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with running water for 15 minutes, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, contact a doctor if redness or discomfort continues
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep warm and at rest, medical advice necessary if symptoms like coughing or breathing discomfort linger
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, talk with poison control or a physician promptly
Note for Medical Personnel: Symptomatic treatment, monitor for delayed effects on organs such as liver or kidney
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water spray for cooling but not direct jet
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct use of water jet due to contamination and spread risk
Protection for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant clothing
Combustion Products: Releases phosgene, hydrogen chloride, chlorine gas, and unidentified toxic fumes if burned
Special Fire Hazards: Melts and flows when hot, can relight if not cooled completely, runoff may pollute water sources
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, avoid inhalation or skin contact, use protective gear
Spill Clean-Up: Use non-sparking tools, cover with inert materials (sand, earth, absorbents), collect into disposal containers, avoid direct contact
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering rivers, lakes, or sewers; large spills may require notification to authorities
Decontamination: Wash area with detergent and water after initial removal, ventilate space thoroughly
Handling: Operate in ventilated areas, avoid generating dust, fumes, or mists, use personal protection (gloves, goggles)
Storage: Keep drums tightly closed, store in cool, dry, well-ventilated places away from heat or open flames
Incompatibility: Separate from strong oxidizers, alkalis, and active metals; do not store near food products
Transfer Precautions: Earthing/bonding for equipment to prevent static, use corrosion-resistant lines for pumping
Recommended Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation at points of emission, handle above liquid in closed systems
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific legal threshold established, but minimize long-term workplace exposure
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (PVC, nitrile), safety goggles or face shield, long-sleeved coveralls
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirators if dusting or fumes are present, especially if local ventilation falls short
General Hygiene: Wash hands and face before eating, avoid carrying work clothes home, no smoking on site
Appearance: Pale yellow to brownish viscous liquid at room temperature
Odor: Faintly aromatic, sweetish
Melting Point: 85–105°C (solidifies at lower temperatures)
Boiling Point: >180°C (decomposes before boiling)
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in many hydrocarbons, oils, and organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Low at ambient temperature
Density: 1.55–1.65 g/cm3 at 25°C
Flash Point: Above 210°C (closed cup)
Viscosity: Very high, thick liquid in normal lab conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperature and storage conditions, decomposition starts at 150°C
Hazardous Reactions: Reacts with strong oxidizers, decomposes under fire or high heat to release acidic and toxic gases
Incompatible Materials: Strong bases, alkali metals, powdered aluminum, hot surfaces
Polymerization: Product does not polymerize under typical usage
Exposure Effects: Repeated or lengthy exposure can damage liver and kidneys, irritate upper respiratory tract
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat): >2,000 mg/kg, not considered acutely toxic
Skin/Eye Contact: May cause redness, itching, and discomfort
Chronic Effects: Evidence for possible carcinogenicity in animals with long-term use
Other Health Risks: Contains trace amounts of dioxins and furans (byproducts)—long-term risk from chronic exposure
Environmental Impact: Persistent in soil and water, bioaccumulates in aquatic organisms and can affect food chains
Aquatic Toxicity: Very toxic to aquatic life, LC50 (fish, 96h) around 0.1–1.0 mg/liter
Degradation: Biodegrades very slowly, breakdown may take years, especially in soil or sediment
Mobility: Sticks to soil particles, low chance of leaching to groundwater, but runoff risks contaminate surface water
Special Note: Should not be released into uncontrolled environments, careful waste management is crucial
Waste Disposal: Treat as hazardous chemical waste, dispose through licensed chemical waste contractor
Incineration: High-temperature incineration with proper air pollution controls recommended, avoid uncontrolled burning
Recycling: Consider contact with manufacturer for potential recycling or recovery options
Contaminated Packaging: Empty drums must be decontaminated before re-use, otherwise treat as hazardous waste
Legal Requirements: Disposal must follow national and local regulations for hazardous materials
