Dear sea friends! Hello, does anyone here have the MSDS for liquid wax (commonly known as 300# oil)? I’m missing a lot of information; I can’t find it anywhere. I’m currently working on a special section on safety design, and I need to know its heat of combustion in order to carry out the conversion to T*T equivalents.
The only information found in the MSDS is liquid paraffin, also known as paraffin oil; its English name is liquid paraffin; Appearance and properties of paraffin oil: A transparent, colorless or pale yellow liquid. Main uses: Used in the production of surfactants, chlorinated paraffins, petroleum proteins, etc., as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. Other information: According to China’s petrochemical industry standards, paraffin wax is classified into two categories: heavy liquid paraffin wax and liquid paraffin wax. Heavy paraffin is available in two grades: first-class and qualified. Liquid paraffin is available in two grades: 1 and 2.
It belongs to solvent oil! It is estimated that there is no relevant MSDS!

Hazard category: Routes of exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, dermal absorption. Health hazards: Environmental hazards: Fire and explosion risks: Section 4 – First aid measures. Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse with plenty of flowing water. Eye contact: Immediately lift the eyelids and rinse thoroughly with plenty of flowing water. Inhalation: Quickly move to a place with fresh air. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs after ingesting a large amount. Part V: Fire-fighting measures. Hazardous properties: Flammable. Harmful combustion products: Carbon monoxide. Fire extinguishing methods and agents: dry powder, foam. Precautions for extinguishing fires: Section 6 – Emergency response to leaks. Personal protection: Do not inhale its vapors/foam. Environmental protection measures: Chemicals are not allowed to be discharged into the environment without treatment. Cleaning/absorption measures: Collect and recover the spill in a safe manner or transport it to a waste disposal site for treatment. Take further action to clean up the polluted area. Part 7: Handling, Disposal, and Storage. Handling precautions: Protect from light. Storage precautions: Seal tightly; no restrictions on storage temperature. Part 8: Exposure Control/Personal Protection Maximum Allowable Concentration: Monitoring Methods: Engineering Controls: Immediately replace contaminated clothing. Apply the skin care cream. Wash your face and hands after working. Do not inhale its vapor. Respiratory protection: Workers should wear hooded, powered air-purifying respirators with filters to protect against dust. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus if necessary. Eye protection: Safety goggles should be worn when in contact with high concentrations. Body protection: Wear chemical protective clothing. Hand protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves. Other protection: Section 9 – Physical and chemical properties. Appearance and characteristics: Liquid, colorless, odorless. pH value: No data available. Dynamic viscosity: ~ 110–230 mPa·s (20 °C). Melting point (°C): No data available. Boiling point (°C): 300–500. Flash point (°C): ~ 230. Upper explosive limit (% V/V): No data available. Density: ~ 0.84–0.89 g/cm³ (20 °C). Relative vapor density (air = 1).
