Rheolub® RL-165

High performance paraffin wax

Overview
A hydrocarbon wax designed for the PVC pipe industry.Recommendations to avoid compaction and handling issues:
  • Avoid double stacking skids of product.
  • Store in cool area, preferably < 90 °F (32.2 °C).
  • Rotate stock using FIFO inventory control. 
    • Preferably using it within 30 days or less from the delivery date.
  • Do not place material near a source of heat or in direct sunlight.
  • Compaction does not affect the quality of the material, and the material will continue to meet all physical specification even when compacted.
  • If compaction occurs the customer should manually or mechanically break up compacted product before use.
  • Contact Honeywell for handling and usage guidance as needed.
Use SDS Number 11207 to retrieve the safety data sheet using the SDS Finder.
