ADDITIVES

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: SEVERE THERMAL BURNS &
IRRITATION. SKIN: SEVERE THERMAL BURNS, MILD IRRITATION &
DERMATITIS. INHALATION: IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT &
THERMAL BURNS. INGESTION: THERMAL BURNS ON CO NTACTED TISSUES.
SILICOSIS: PERSONS W/SILICOSIS HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF PULMONARY
TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SEE INGREDIENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:BURNS, IRRITATION, DEFATTING, NAUSEA.
SILICOSIS-SHORTNESS OF BREATH, DIFFICULTY BREATHING W/O EXERTION,
COUGHING, DIMINISHED WORK CAPACITY, DIMINISHED CHEST EXPANSION,
REDUCTION OF LUNG VOLUME, RIGHT HEART ENLARGEMENT &/FAILURE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:EXISTING SKIN &/RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
BY EXPOSURE TO ASPHALT FUMES & BY PETROLEUM DISTILLATES. ASPHALT
CONCRETE MAY AGGRAVATE RESPIRATORY DISEASE/DYSFUNCTIONS, SKIN & EYE
CONDTIONS.

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINS. BEYOND
FLUSHING, DON'T ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
IN COOL WATER FOR 15 MINS. APPLY ICE WATER/COLD PACKS TO BURNED
AREA I F BURNED AREA IS LESS THAN 10% OF BODY SURFACE. CLEAN
EXPOSED AREA W/OIL DISSOLVING CLEANER. DON'T USE SOLVENTS/THINNERS
TO REMOVE MATERIAL. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. (SEE SUPP)

Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:>400F
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CO2, HALOGENATED AGENTS, FOAM, STEAM,
WATER FOG.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS
COOL. AVOID USE OF STRAIGHT STREAM WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PETROLEUM ASPHALT FUMES CAN EXPLODE WHEN
CONCENTRATED IN AN ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT & SUPPLIED W/AN IGNITION
SOURCE. (SEE SUPP)

Spill Release Procedures:KEEP IGNITION SOURCES AT LEAST 50 FEET AWAY.
PREVENT MATERIALS FROM ENTERING STREAMS, DRAINAGES/SEWERS. SPILLS
ENTERING SURFACE WATERS/ANY OTHER WATERCOURSE/SEWERS
ENTERING/LEADING TO SURFACE WATERS T HAT CAUSE A SHEEN MUST BE
REPORTED.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES &
OPEN FLAMES. STORAGE CONTAINERS SHOULD BE VENTILATED TO REDUCE FIRE
& EXPLOSION HAZARD TO FUMES & VAPORS.
Other Precautions:DON'T WELD, HEAT/DRILL CONTAINER. EMPTIED CONTAINER
MAY CONTAIN HAZARDOUS MATERIAL WHICH MAY IGNITE EXPLOSIVELY IF
HEATED. MATERIALS SHOULD BE REMOVED REGULARLY TO PREVENT SUCH
ACCIDENTS. DON'T USE SO LVENTS/THINNERS TO CLEAN FOOTWEAR.

Respiratory Protection:FOR AIR CONTAMINANT CONCENTRATIONS WHICH EXCEED
APPLICABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS, USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED,
CONTAMINANT-SPECIFIC, AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR. IF AIR-PURIFYING
RESPIRATOR IS INADEQUATE, USE A POSITIVE PRESSURE SCBA.
Ventilation:GENERAL DILUTION/LOCAL EXHAUST TO MAINTAIN < APPROPRIATE
EXPOSURE LIMITS. USE IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY GLASSES W/SIDE SHIELDS, CHEMICAL
SAFETY GOGGLES, FRESH WATER SUPPLY, WASHING FACILITIES.
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE/LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE. WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING & USING TOILET
FACILITIES
Supplemental Safety and Health
CLEAN SKIN W/SOAP & WATER/AN OIL DISSOLVING SKIN CLEANER. DON'T USE
SOLVENTS/THINNERS TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM SKIN. FIRE HZRD CONT'D:
NEVER USE WELDING/CUTTING TORCH ON/NEAR CONTAINERS BECAUSE VAPORS
CAN IGNITE EXPLOSIVELY. FIRST AID CONT'D: INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE
VOMITING. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
