Exposure of KAO WAX EB-G:
Consumer:
KAO WAX EB-G is used to various resin molded articles for home electronics, electrical and electronic products, article for daily use, stationery, furniture and automobile components, and others.
Since KAO WAX EB-G is thought that this substance hardly elutes from these molded resins, it is thought that the exposure to KAO WAX EB-G is at the safe level for consumers.
Since no adverse effects were observed in any of the performed toxicological tests, these applications do not give rise to concern.
Worker of KAO WAX EB-G:
The exposure can occur either in a KAO WAX EB-G manufacturing facility or in the various industrial facilities that use KAO WAX EB-G.
Those working with the substance in industrial operations could be exposed during maintenance, sampling, testing, or other procedures.
Since no adverse effects were observed in any of the performed toxicological tests working with these substances is not considered to be a risk.
Nevertheless, as a general recommendation, only qualified and trained workers shall handle the neat substance.
And generally each manufacturing facility offers a thorough training program for employees and appropriate work processes, as well as safety equipment (goggles and gloves) in place to limit unnecessary exposure.
Safety showers and eye-wash stations are accessible nearby.
Workers have been trained to follow the safety measures.
Environment of KAO WAX EB-G:
It is thought that there is almost no discharged of this substance by use of the resin molded articles for consumers.
Additionally, it is thought that there is also almost no discharged to waste water treatment plants from industrial sites such as manufacturing, preparation, handling and storage.
Adverse effects of KAO WAX EB-G towards aquatic organisms were not observed in any of the performed tests and the substance is not expected to accumulate in the food chain.
Therefore all identified uses of the substance are assessed as safe for the environment.
Risk management recommendations of KAO WAX EB-G:
When using chemicals make sure that there is adequate ventilation.
Always use appropriate chemical resistant gloves to protect your hands and skin and always wear eye protection such as chemical goggles.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke where chemicals are handled, processed, or stored.
Wash hands and skin following contact.
If the substance gets into your eyes, rinse eyes thoroughly for at least 15 minutes with tap water and seek medical attention.
All effluent releases that may contain the substance should be directed to a (municipal) waste water treatment plant that removes the substance from the final releases to the receiving water.
Releases to air are not expected and therefore no specific recommendations are required.
