Acute and Chronic and Signs and Symptoms of Exposure :
HEALTH
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product may result in irritation and dermatitis.
HAZARDS
Asphalt: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is sufficient evidence for
the carcinogennicity of extract of steam-refined bitumens, air-refined bitumens and pooled mixtures of steam-and airrefined bitumens in experimental animals. Possible skin cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. This
product may contain polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, some of which may be types that have been shown to cause
skin cancer in laboratory animals. This product has not been tested as a whole for all potential health effects. It may
have other health hazards related to its components. Skin contact, breathing of mists, fumes or vapors should be
reduced to a minimum to avoid any ill effects. Chronic health effects would not be expected as long as good hygiene
and proper safety precautions are practiced.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, blurred vision.
Ingestion: Can Cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis.
Inhalation: Use with adequate ventilation. Inhalation of high vapor concentration may cause headaches and/or dizziness. This material
is for exterior use only.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with a history or chronic skin or respiratory disorders may be at
increased risk for a worsening of their condition from exposure to this product.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES Eye Contact:
Flush with large amounts of water. Consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Clean affected area with a waterless hand cleaner, then wash area thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, etc.
persists, consult a physician.
Inhalation: Remove person from area. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.
Seek immediate medical aid.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician immediately.
SECTION 6 – CONTROL AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) – Normally not needed. If TLV is exceeded, use approved NIOSH/MSHA respirator.
Protective Gloves
Oil resistant recommended.
Eye Protection Chemical splash
goggles.
