Safety data
Toxicological properties
The polyethylene and amide waxes
described in this leaflet as well as
waxes based on crude montan wax
have no properties that are harmful to
health on the basis of experience to
date. The acute oral toxicity (LD50 ) of
these waxes is > 2000 mg/kg in the
rat or mouse.
When Ceridust 9610 F, Ceridust 9630 F,
Ceridust 3920 F, TP Ceridust 3921 F,
Ceridust 9325 F, TP Ceridust 9322 F,
Ceridust 9202 F and Ceridust 9205 F are
handled, the usual safety precautions
for fluorocarbon-containing products
must be observed. Contamination
of clothes and tobacco products must
be avoided at all costs. Hazardous
decomposition products occur
above 300 °C.

Ecological properties
The waxes described are virtually
insoluble in water. Hence they are
attacked only very slowly by microorganisms
in water and cause no
significant biological oxygen demand.
They are eliminated from the effluent
as ballast together with the sludge.
The COD eliminability under the
conditions of sewage treatment is
good (> 95 %). The waxes should
be taken to an authorized site for
disposal.
