Emergency Overview This is a solid material at room temperature that softens and melts to a liquid as the temperature is increased above its melting point. Under normal usage this product is used as a solid material at room temperature. If it is heated in an open container to a temperature well above its melting point, hydrocarbon vapors and oxidized products could be generated. If the temperature is sufficiently high, the liquid could flash and burn when exposed to an ignition source. SKIN CONTACT: Contact with molten material will result in a severe thermal burn. EYE CONTACT: Contact of the eye with molten material will cause thermal burns and eye injury. INHALATION: Respiratory discomfort and irritation are possible if breathed in a confined area.
Potential health effects
Eyes: Exposure to fumes, vapors or smoke from thermally Ingestion: Although this material is essentially inert and degraded material will cause eye irritation. non-toxic, it should be handled with care and not placed in the mouth or ingested. Skin: Contact with molten material can cause severe thermal Inhalation: If molten material gives off fumes, vapor or burns. smoke in a confined area, irritation of the respiratory tract and physical discomfort of sensitive individuals could be expected.
