Notes: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the National
Toxicology Program (NTP) have concluded that certain polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, i.e. (benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(a)phenanthrene,
indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(j,k,fluorine,
benzo(g,h,i)perylene, and 5-methylchrysene are probably carcinogenic to humans
(Group 2A and B).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If affected, move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not
breathing or if no heartbeat, give artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR). Immediately call a physician.
Skin contact: For contact with hot molten material, immerse or flush skin with cold water for at least
15 minutes. Call a physician. Do not attempt to remove solidified material since
removal may cause further tissue injury. Cold material over a burn should not be
removed except by a physician. Remove cold material (not associated with a burn)
with waterless handcleaner and then wash with soap and water.
Ingestion: Ingestion not likely. If large amounts are swallowed, immediately call a physician.
Eye contact: For contact with hot molten material, flush with large amounts of tepid water for at
least 15 minutes. Immediately call a physician.
For contact with vapors or dust, flush with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15
minutes. If symptoms or irritation occur, call a physician.
Notes to physician: Recommended practice is to not attempt to remove hot material associated with a
burn. Allow the solidified material to remain in place until cooled so it can naturally
fall off. Natural separation will occur in 48-72 hours. If removal is attempted, mineral
oil may be used to remove asphalt once it is cooled. For best results, work it into the
skin around the material and allow the material to "float" off.

Medical conditions aggravated by Preexisting skin, eye and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to
exposure: components of this product.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: For small fires, Class B fire extinguishing media such as
CO2, dry chemical, foam (AFFF/ATC) or water spray can be
used. For large fires, water spray, fog or foam (AFFT/ATC)
can be used. Fire fighting should be attempted only by those
who are adequately trained and equipped with proper
protective equipment.
Specific hazards: This product is not a combustible material per the OSHA
Hazard Communication Standard, but will ignite and burn at
temperatures exceeding the flash point.
Unusual hazards: Fine petroleum pitch dust dispersed in air in sufficient
concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source
could cause a potential dust explosion hazard. Explosion
potential would vary depending on size and disperson of
dust. Minimum explosible concentration is 20 gm/m3. For
addtional fire related information, see NFPA 654.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Avoid using straight water streams. Water spray and foam
(AFFF/ATC) must be applied carefully to avoid frothing and
from as far a distance as possible. Avoid excessive water
spray application. Use water spray to cool exposed surfaces
from as far a distance as possible. Keep run-off water out of
sewers and water sources.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Keep public away. Isolate and evacuate area. Shut off source if safe to do so.
Advise authorities and National Response Center (800-424-8802) if substance has
entered a watercourse or sewer. Notify local health and pollution control agencies, if
appropriate. Contain liquid with sand or soil. Recover and return product to source.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
MSDS ID NO.: 0226MAR019 Product name: Marathon A-500 Pitch Page 5 of 13
Comply with all applicable EPA, OSHA, NFPA and consistent state and local requirements. Use appropriate grounding
and bonding practices. Store in properly closed containers that are appropriately labeled and in a cool well-ventilated
area. Do not expose to heat, open flames, strong oxidizers or other sources of ignition. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld on
empty containers since they may contain explosive residues.
When opening covers and outlet caps on storage tanks, use face shield and gloves to avoid possible injury from
pressurized product. Stay upwind and vent open hatches before unloading. Keep heating coils and flues in storage tanks,
trucks and kettles covered with product (8"). Do not overheat. Keep heating coils and flues in storage tanks, trucks and
kettles covered with product (8"). Do not overheat.
Avoid skin contact. Exercise good personal hygiene including removal of soiled clothing and prompt washing with soap
and water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Engineering measures: Local or general exhaust required in an enclosed area or when there is inadequate
ventilation.
Respiratory protection: Not required under normal conditions and adequate ventilation. Use atmosphere
supplying respirators in confined spaces or when vapors exceed permissible limits;
otherwise, an organic vapor respirator with pre-filter for fumes can be used. Self-
contained breathing apparatus should be used for fire fighting.
Skin and body protection: Insulated gloves when handling hot material. Impermeable gloves (e.g nitrile, viton,
tyvek/saranex 23) should be used to prevent skin contact of cold material.
Eye protection: Goggles and faceshield when handling hot material.
Hygiene measures: Rubberized suits or coats may be needed for some maintenance operations with hot
material. Chemical resistant apron or other protective clothing may be needed to
avoid skin contact.

Marathon A-500 Pitch 68187-58-6 No data available No data available No data available
Lifetime skin painting studies in mice with petroleum pitch has produced carcinogenic activity following prolonged and
repeated exposure. Petroleum pitch has been found to be positive in a modified Ames mutagenicity assay.
Summary of health effect data on pitch components:
No. 6 fuel oil may be present in concentrations of up to 40% in this product. Lifetime skin painting studies in animals with
products similar to Heavy catalytic cracked distillate, No. 6 fuel oil and/or its components have produced tumors in
animals following prolonged and repeated skin contact. Repeated dermal application has produced severe irritation and
systemic toxicity in subacute toxicity studies. Some components of this product were found to be positive in some
mutagenicity tests while negative in others. The exact relationship between these results and human health is not known.
Catalytic cracked slurry oil (CCSO) may be present in concentrations up to 55% in this product. Lifetime skin painting
studies in animals with CCSO have produced tumors in animals following prolonged and repeated skin contact.
Repeated dermal application of CCSO (30 mg/kg/day for 13 weeks) in rats resulted in anemia, liver degeneration and
injury to bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. 100% mortality was observed at 2,000 mg/kg/day within three weeks.
Repeated dermal application (30 mg/kg/day) of CCSO to pregnant rats during gestation produced maternal and fetal
toxicity. Deaths and systemic toxicity (liver, thymus and blood). The number of viable offspring decreased at doses of 30
mg/kg/day and above. Many of the developmental effects (anomalies, resorptions and growth inhibition) were observed
at doses which produced maternal toxicity. In a separate developmental study CCSO produced decreases in body
weights and food consumption at doses from 10-250 mg/kg/day. Although fertility and reproductive function were not
affected, the no observable adverse effect level for CCSO administered dermally was 1 mg/kg/day.
This product contains polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAC) at a level of >0.1%. Some PACs that have been
identified in this product such as benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(a) phenanthrene, benzo (G,H,I) perylene
and 5-methylchrysene have been shown to be carcinogenic in experimental animals. An increased risk of cancer has
been observed in workers employed in the aluminum production, coal gasification, coal-tar pitch, coke production and iron
and steel industries that had been occupationally exposed to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAC). Since these
kinds of PACs have been measured at high levels in air samples taken in these idustries, IARC has concluded that these
PACs are probably carcinogenic to humans.
