Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES/SKIN: IRRITATION. INHALATION:
UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. ASPHALT CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS
OF POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS. SULFUR MAY FORM HYDROGEN
SULFIDE WHEN HEATED. HYDROGEN SULFID E CONCENTRATIONS OF 1000-2000
PPM ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS . DEATH MAY OCCUR AT 600 PPM.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:THERMAL BURNS, NAUSEA, IRRITATION. HYDROGEN
SULFIDE-HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, GI DISTURBANCES, COUGHING, A
SENSATION OF DRYNESS & PAIN IN THE NOSE, THROAT & CHEST, CONFUSION
& UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:HOT MATERIAL: EYES: IMMEDIATELY WASH W/FRESH WATER. SKIN: IF
MELTED MATERIAL GETS ON SKIN, QUICKLY COOL IN WATER. DON'T USE
SOLVENTS/THINNERS TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM SKIN. REMOVE W/VEGETABLE
OIL/MINER AL OIL. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED, APPLY CPR. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:>100F
Extinguishing Media:CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, WATERSPRAY
Fire Fighting Procedures:DON'T ENTER ENCLOSED/CONFINED FIRE SPACE W/O
PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HOT ASPHALT MAY EMIT TOXIC HYDROGEN
SULFIDE GAS.
Spill Release Procedures:ALLOW LIQUID MATERIAL TO COOL & SOLIDIFY.
CLEAN UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS IN SPECIAL
PROTECTIVE INFORMATION & PRODUCT LABEL.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. SKIN
CONTACT & BREATHING OF MISTS, FUMES/VAPORS SHOULD BE REDUCED TO A
MINIMUM.
Other Precautions:DON'T WELD, HEAT/DRILL CONTAINER. REPLACE CAP/BUNG.
EMPTIED CONTAINER CONTAINS HAZARDOUS MATERIAL WHICH MAY IGNITE
W/EXPLOSIVE VIOLENCE IF HEATED SUFFICIENTLY. DON'T USE PRESSURE TO
EMPTY DRUM/EXPLOSI ON MAY RESULT. AVOID EYE & SKIN CONTACT.
Respiratory Protection:IF OPERATING CONDITIONS CREATE AIRBORNE
CONCENTRAIONS WHICH EXCEED THE EXPOSURE STANDARD, THE USE OF AN
APPROVED RESPIRATOR/AIR-SUPPLIED BREATHING EQUIPMENT IS
RECOMMENDED.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO KEEP THE AIRBORNE
