Description

Apiezon Wax W100

This wax is softer than Wax W and softens between 50 degrees to 60 degrees C. It is used where a wax seal is needed, but where the softer wax will reduce the danger of a joint cracking if the parts are subject to vibration. The safe working temperature for Wax W100 is obviously lower than for Wax W and is about 50 degrees C. Estimated vapor pressure is 6 x 10-9 torr at 20 degrees C.

Precautions

PRECAUTIONS: Apiezon Products - Health and Safety

Apiezon products have been widely and safely used in vacuum distillation apparatus in both industry and laboratories for a number of years.  As a result they should not present a health hazard assuming normal standards of industrial hygiene and safety are followed in their handling.

In terms of explosion and fire, Apiezon products are considered non-hazardous.
