Paraffin, Liquid CAS#8012-95-1
Low Health Hazard: Classified with a NFPA health rating of 0, indicating minimal health risk under normal handling conditions.
High Thermal Stability: Features a high flash point (193°C) and auto-ignition temperature (260–371°C), providing strong resistance to ignition and making it safer in high-temperature environments.
Low Volatility: With a vapor pressure below 0.5 mmHg at 20°C, it produces very little vapor, reducing airborne concentrations and improving workplace safety.
Chemically Stable and Non-Reactive: Rated 0 for reactivity and insoluble in water, ensuring good chemical stability and compatibility in various industrial applications.
Paraffin, Liquid CAS#8012-95-1
Mineral oil mist is a colorless, oily aerosol dispersed in the air, characterized by a burnt lubricating-oil odor with an odor threshold of 1.0 ppm. It has a specific gravity of 0.865 at 60℃, a boiling range of 250–360℃, and a vapor pressure below 0.5 mmHg at 20℃. The flash point is 193℃, and the autoignition temperature ranges from 260 to 371℃. According to the NFPA-704 M rating system, it is classified as Health 0, Flammability 1, and Reactivity 0. It is also insoluble in water.
