4 - FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH POINT: 52 C (PENSKY-MARTENS C.C.)
MEANS OF EXTINCTION: If water is ineffective, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.
Water may be sprayed on closed containers to minimize pressure buildup.
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY: Heat or ignition sources eg sparks, flame, lit cigarettes.
Vapours may travel to sources of ignition and flash back.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, fumes, oxides of carbon and sulfur.
5 - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROUTES OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT, SKIN ABSORPTION, INHALATION, INGESTION, EYE CONTACT
ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS: EYES: May cause irritation on contact. SKIN: May cause irritation
or inflamation. INHALATION: Overexposure may cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness,
coughing or irritation of the respiratory system. INGESTION: May cause nausea, vomiting,
irritation of the intestinal tract or more serious injury depending on the quantity
ingested. The TLV for aliphatic naphtha is 100 ppm. The TLV for carbon black is 3.5
mg/m3. The ceiling TLV for ethylene glycol mist is 100 mg/m3. The TLV for crystalline
silica is 0.1 mg/m3.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE EFFECTS: Overexposure may cause dermatitis, asthma, skin and respiratory
sensitization and decreased lung function. May aggravate persons sensitized to amines.
Repeated overexposure to vapours and/or material may injure the liver, kidneys and
respiratory system unless suitable engineering controls and/or personal protective
equipment are used. Asphalt by itself is considered non hazardous. However when mixed with
solvent the hazards by skin contact or spraying are increaesd. Asphalt may cause rashes or
skin sensitivity. Repeated overexposure to trace chemicals in asphalt may incresae risk of
skin or respiratory cancer unless suitable engineering controls and/or protective equipment
are used. Carbon black is a suspected carcinogen according to IARC. Crystalline silica is
a recognized carcinogen by IARC, however it is at low concentration and is bound so it
should not cause significant adverse effects.
NOTES: Carbon black is normally bound by resins and should not cause adverse effects
unless made airborne.
6 - FIRST AID: Get immediate medical attention for any significant overexposure

Order Code: 363940 805
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL FIRST AID: EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
apart. Get medical attention immediately after. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call
nearest Poison Control Center (for Toronto call 416-813-5900). If conscious 1-2 ounces of
water may be given. Do not provide large amounts of liquid unless advised by physician.
INHALATION: Remove person from exposure. Avoid further overexposure. Provide artificial
respiration if necessary. SKIN: Clean with handcleaner, then with soap and water.
7 - REACTIVITY DATA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STABILITY CONDITIONS: Stable under normal conditions of use.
INCOMPATIBLE CLASSES: Strong oxidizing agents.
8 - PREVENTIVE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use professional judgement in selection, care and use.
EYES: Use suitable chemical splash goggles if eye contact is possible. SKIN: Use suitable
impervious nitrile gloves and protective apparel to reduce exposure. RESPIRATION: Use a
NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapour respirator if Engineering Controls are inadequate.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Reduce vapours below the TLV with maximum general ventilation and or
local exhaust. Use full engineering controls before relying on PPE.
SPILLS LEAKS AND WASTE DISPOSAL: Use personal protective equipment. REMOVE SOURCES OF
IGNITION IMMEDIATELY. Stop flow, ventilate area, contain spill. Use non-sparking,
non-flammable tools. Absorb with suitable inert material and transfer to suitable container
for disposal. Dispose as HAZARDOUS WASTE according to all local, provincial and federal
regulations.
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES: FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY. Avoid heat and all ignition
sources, eg: sparks, flame, cigarettes etc. during transportation, storage, handling and
application. Use spark proof tools and explosion proof equipment if conditions warrant
them. Avoid ingestion, inhalation of vapours and skin or eye contact. Keep skin and
apparel clean to reduce exposure. Use personal protective equipment for spills, cleaning
and repair of equipment. Precautions apply also to empty containers. Spraying of material
requires adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of vapours. Seal containers when not in
use. Store in sealed containers in a cool, ventilated area away from all ignition sources.
9 - PREPARATION INFORMATION: Deleted subcategories have no information available
