NAUSEA, VOMITING, & DIARRHEA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SEE INGREDIENTS
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: COLD PRODUCT MAY RESULT IN DRYNESS &
IRRITATION. ASPHALT FUMES CAN INCREASE SENSITIVITY TO SUN, & CAUSE
DISCOLORATION. DERMATITIS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHRONIC SKIN OR RESPIRATORY
DISORDERS

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN/CPR. SKIN: HOT

Fire Fighting Procedures:TREAT AS HYDROCARBON FIRE. WATER MAY BE USED
TO COOL CONTAINERS IN FIRE EXPOSED AREA. USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HOT ASPHALT MAY IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
ON CONTACT. DON'T USE WATER ON ASPHALT FIRE, IT MAY CAUSE VIOLENT
ERUPTION & SPREADING OF HOT ASPHALT.

Spill Release Procedures:DIKE STORAGE TANKS TO PREVENT MATERIAL FROM
ENTERING SEWERS OR WATERWAYS. ABSORB W/INERT MATERIALS SUCH AS
SAND/VERMICULITE. DISPOSE OF AS SOLID REGULATED WASTE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:DON'T ALLOW HOT, MOLTEN ASPHALT TO
CONTACT WATER AS THIS MAY CAUSE VIOLENT ERUPTIONS & SPREADING OF
HOT ASPHALT. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT W/SKIN/EYES/CLOTHING. KETTLES SHOULD BE
OPERATED AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE TEMPERATURE THAT ALLOWS PROPER
APPLICATION. KETTLES SHOULD HAVE TIGHT-FITTING LIDS & BE USED IN
WELL VENTILATED AR EAS. USE CAUTION AROUND BULK CONTAINER.
