Target Organs
Upper respiratory system, skin, and eyes.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
As with any dust, pre-existing upper respiratory, eye and lung diseases or conditions due to the large size of the particles,
minimal exposure to airborne dust is expected.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
If dust is inhaled in excess of exposure limits referenced in section 8 of this safety data sheet, remove individual to fresh air.
Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.
First Aid: Skin
Wash gently with soap and water to remove dust. Should irritation persist, seek medical attention.
First Aid: Ingestion
Rinse mouth with water to remove dust and drink plenty of water to help reduce irritation. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention.
First Aid: Eyes
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
First Aid: Ears
Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops in the inner ear, seek medical attention.
First Aid: Notes to Physician
Dust from the product may cause mechanical irritation of the eyes, skin, and upper respiratory tract. Treat symptomatically.

Flash Point: Not applicable Method Used: Not applicable
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): Not determined Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): Not determined
Auto Ignition: Not determined Flammability Classification: Not determined
Rate of Burning: Not determined
General Fire Hazards
There is no potential for spontaneous fire or explosion.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
No special procedures are expected to be necessary for this product. Normal fire fighting procedures should be followed to
avoid inhalation of smoke and gases.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Clean-Up Procedures
Pick up large pieces. Vacuum dusts. If sweeping is necessary, use a dust suppressant such as water. Do not dry sweep dust
accumulation. These procedures will help to minimize potential exposures.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures
Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet when handling uncontained material. Handle in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
Storage Procedures
Warehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions, if any. Material should be kept clean, dry, and in original
packaging.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
A: Component Exposure Limits
Perlite, expanded (93763-70-3)
OSHA: 15 mg/m3 TWA (total dust); 5 mg/m3 TWA (respirable fraction)
Asphalt, oxidized (64742-93-4)
ACGIH: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA (fume, inhalable fraction, as benzene soluble aerosol) (related to Asphalt
(Bitumen))

ACGIH: 10 mg/m3 TWA
OSHA: 15 mg/m3 TWA (total dust); 5 mg/m3 TWA (respirable fraction)
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended to keep dust out of the eyes.
Personal Protective Equipment: Ears
Ear protection (earplugs, hood, or earmuffs), if necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Leather or cotton gloves should be worn to protect against mechanical abrasion.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate for keeping dust levels below the applicable exposure
limits referenced in Section 8 of this SDS. Wear a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusable particulate respirator with an
efficiency rating of N95 or higher (per 42 CFR 84) when dust concentrations exceed the applicable exposure limits. Operations
such as sawing, blowing, tear out, and spraying may generate airborne dust concentrations requiring a higher level of
respiratory protection. For exposures up to 50 times the established exposure limits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or
higher.
Ventilation
In fixed manufacturing settings, local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting, milling or other processing to
remove airborne dust.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Protective equipment should be provided as necessary to prevent irritation to the throat, eyes, and skin, and to keep
exposures below the applicable exposure limits.

Chronic Toxicity
Asphalt: in these products, asphalt exists in a physical state and does not impart any special hazard. In 1994, IARC
reconfirmed its earlier assessment that studies of workers exposed to asphalt provide inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity.
IARC had previously classified asphalt as a Group 3 substance. Animal studies in which high concentrations of asphalt fumes
were breathed for extended periods of time did not indicate any cancer effects. Bronchitis and pneumonitis were observed.
Two studies where condensed fractions of certain asphalt fume condensates were repeatedly applied to the skin of laboratory
animals reported the induction of skin cancers. The asphalt fume condensates collected for these studies were subjected to
extremely high temperatures (316掳C/601掳F) and were heated for seven to ten hours while being continually stirred. This is not
typical of any asphalt application. Trace amounts of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be present in some
asphalts and can be generated upon excessive heating, which results in thermal cracking of the asphalt compounds. Some of
these PAHs have been identified as having potential carcinogenic and reproductive health effects.
