SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Black. Liquid. May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue.
May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further
overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and
:
fatigue. May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system.
Eyes Direct contact may cause moderate irritation. Direct contact may cause temporary
:
redness and discomfort.
Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
:
Skin May cause moderate irritation. May cause itching, reddening, inflammation. May cause a
:
rash. May cause sensitization.
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with asphalt may result in skin sensitivity, such as irritation, rashes, and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other volatiles which are
contained in trace amounts in asphalt have been shown to cause cancer or respiratory damage in animals.
Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes sufficient
evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust above the
TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury, silicosis
may result from breathing free silica. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product
under normal conditions of use. Prolonged or repeated exposure to mineral spirits (petroleum naphtha or
stoddard solvent) may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the skin, dermatitis, central nervous system
(CNS) effects, and adverse liver, kidney, and lung effects.
Target Organs: Skin, Eye, Lung, Liver, Kidney, Nerve

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Get immediate medical attention for any significant overexposure.
Inhalation : Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get
medical attention.
Eye contact : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eye lids apart. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin contact : Clean area of contact thoroughly using soap and water. If irritation, rash or other
disorders develop, get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control
Center or Physician immediately.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point : 115 掳 46 掳
F, C
Method : Pensky Martens closed cup
Lower explosion limit : Not available.
Upper explosion limit : Not available.
Autoignition temperature : Not available.
Extinguishing media : If water fog is ineffective, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.
Hazardous combustion : Smoke, fumes.Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can form.Oxides of
products sulfur can form.
Protective equipment for : Use accepted fire fighting techniques. Wear full firefighting protective
firefighters clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Fire and explosion conditions : Product may ignite if heated in excess of its flash point.Vapors may
travel to sources of ignition and flashback.Vapor concentrations in
enclosed areas may ignite explosively.Empty containers may contain
ignitable vapors.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Use appropriate protective equipment. Avoid contact with material. Remove sources of ignition immediately.
Stop flow of material if safe to do so. Contain spill and keep out of water courses. Ventilate area.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Prevent inhalation of vapor, ingestion, and contact with skin eyes and clothing. Keep container closed when
not in use. Precautions also apply to emptied containers. Do not smoke, weld, generate sparks, or use flame
near container. Do not use in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Personal protective equipment must be worn
during maintenance or repair of contaminated mixer, reactor, or other equipment. Store under dry warehouse
conditions away from heat and all ignition sources.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection equipment
Respiratory protection : Wear appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor or
supplied air respirator when airborne contaminant level(s) are expected to
exceed exposure limits indicated on the MSDS. Follow manufacturer's
directions for respirator use.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious nitrile or neoprene gloves and protective apparel to
reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear appropriate eye protection.Wear chemical safety goggles and/or face
shield to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes
with contaminated body parts or materials. Have eye washing facilities readily
available.
Skin and body protection : Prevent contact with shoes and clothing.
Protective measures : Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.Inspect and replace
equipment at regular intervals.
Engineering measures : Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide maximum ventilation in enclosed
areas.Use local exhaust when the general ventilation is inadequate.
