Product Name: Carnauba Wax
Chemical Name: Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax
Recommended Use: Used in food coatings, cosmetics, polishes, and pharmaceuticals
Manufacturer/Supplier Details: Reach out to the supplier listed on the package for address, phone number, and emergency contact
CAS Number: 8015-86-9
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to available safety regulations
Hazard Statements: No specifically identified acute or chronic hazards for normal industrial or consumer use
Precautionary Statements: Prevent inhalation of dust when handling bulk solid or powder; minimize skin and eye contact
Potential Health Effects: Eyes may experience mild irritation from dust or particles; inhalation of dust may cause mechanical irritation of respiratory tract; ingestion considered low risk due to natural origin
Substance/Mixture: Substance
Main Component: Carnauba Wax (100%)
Chemical Formula: Mixture of natural esters, fatty acids, and fatty alcohols; does not contain solvents, heavy metals, or synthetic additives
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; seek medical advice if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water if skin surfaces feel sticky or uncomfortable; remove contaminated clothing
Inhalation: Move to fresh air if discomfort from dust occurs; seek medical evaluation if symptoms continue
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; consult medical attention if large amounts are swallowed unintentionally
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray to extinguish burning wax
Special Hazards: Combustion produces smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other hydrocarbons; melted wax can spread fire
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing in the event of a large fire; avoid inhaling fumes
Release Response: Sweep up spilled solid wax, collect using non-sparking tools; for molten wax, allow to solidify before collecting
Containment: Prevent entry into sewer and waterways; use barriers to block flow into drains
Cleanup Methods: Dispose using appropriate containers for wax waste; ventilate area to remove dust or fumes
Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation; avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact
Storage Requirements: Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place; protect from direct sunlight and heat sources; avoid storing near oxidizers
Occupational Exposure Limits: No official exposure limit values; use general dust exposure guidelines (10 mg/m³ total dust, 3 mg/m³ respirable dust)
Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation or extraction systems to keep dust and fumes below recommended limits
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear safety glasses or goggles; use gloves when handling large quantities; in dusty conditions, use NIOSH-approved dust masks or respirators; wear work clothes that cover the skin
Appearance: Pale yellow to light brown solid flakes, beads, or powder
Odor: Mild, characteristic waxy smell
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes before boiling)
Melting Point: 80°C to 86°C (176°F to 187°F)
Flash Point: Above 250°C (open cup)
Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in hot alcohol, oils, chloroform, and some hydrocarbons
Density: 0.97 - 0.99 g/cm³ @ 20°C
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
pH: Not relevant—insoluble in water
Chemical Stability: Stable at ambient temperatures under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: No known hazards; non-reactive with most materials in normal circumstances
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Combustion may result in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other organic fumes
Acute Toxicity: Practically non-toxic by oral and dermal exposure; not expected to cause acute or chronic illness in humans
Skin Sensitization: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals
Eye Effects: Dust may cause minor mechanical irritation
Inhalation Effects: Inhaling dust could provoke coughing or throat irritation, mostly with high exposure or in poorly ventilated spaces
Long-Term Effects: No evidence of carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive toxicity based on available data
Ecotoxicity: Product shows low toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial life; considered biodegradable in natural conditions
Persistence and Degradability: Natural composition allows for gradual breakdown in soil and water environments
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not likely to accumulate in living tissues or move up food chains
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility due to insolubility in water and tendency to adhere to solids
Waste Disposal Methods: Recycle or dispose of carnauba wax in accordance with local and national disposal regulations; avoid placing in household drains or water sources
Contaminated Packaging: Clean thoroughly or send to authorized waste facility; containers may be recycled after cleaning if permitted locally
UN Number: Not regulated for transport
Proper Shipping Name: Carnauba Wax
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified as hazardous for land, air, or sea shipping
Packing Group: Not assigned
Environmental Hazards: None identified for transportation
Labelling Requirements: Exempt from classification and labelling under standard GHS guidelines for hazardous chemicals
Inventory Status: Listed in chemical inventories such as TSCA (USA), EINECS (EU), AICS (Australia), and related national lists
Restrictions: No specific regulatory restrictions imposed for standard commercial or industrial uses; recommended to comply with local, regional, and international regulations as applicable
