Paraffin soy wax

Derived from the soybean, soy wax is a hydrogenated vegetable oil that turns to a solid at room temperature. Soy wax contains nothing artificial, which makes it a better alternative to old-fashioned paraffin wax, which is made from petroleum oil and produces harmful by-products when burned or melted. Soy wax is non-toxic making it better both for the environment and your health!
Unlike paraffin wax, which gives off black soot when burned, soy wax burns cleaner. Since paraffin wax is petroleum-based, burning it produces a black soot that can potentially stain curtains, walls, and carpets inside the home. As a vegetable-based wax, soy wax does not give off any harmful by-products that might cause damage.

Unusual fire and explosion hazards: None known.

5.Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Sweep up and recover or mix material with moist absorbent and shovel into waste container. Wash down spill area with hot water containing detergent and flush to a sewer serviced by waste water treatment facility.
Waste Disposal: Recover material or dispose (incineration is preferred) in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations. Material collected with absorbent may be disposed in a permitted landfill in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Empty container may retain vapor or product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is clean, reconditioned or destroyed.

6.Handling and Storage

Precautions: Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not breathe dust. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage: Keep material in a cool, well-ventilated area.

7.Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
