SECTION 4 鈥? FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
FLASH POINT: 105 0F TCC FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: LEL 0.9 UEL 6.7
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: 540 OF
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water Fog.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Material will float on water and can be reignited. Use water to cool
containers to prevent bursting. Wear full firefighting gear including self-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Intense heat can cause pressure build-up in containers and can
result in bursting. Vapors are heavier than air and can travel along the ground to remote sources of ignition. Empty
containers may contain residual vapors or liquid that could be ignited by heat, flame, sparks or other ignition sources.

SECTION 6 鈥? HEALTH HAZARD DATA
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, Skin Contact, and Eye Contact.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE): Vapors may be irritating to nose, throat, and respiratory tract. High concentrations
may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, anesthesia, and unconsciousness and can result in death.
Vapors and liquid can cause eye irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision. Ingestion can cause irritation of mouth,
throat, and gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea and vomiting. Aspiration of petroleum distillates into the lungs
can cause severe chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
HEALTH HAZARDS (CHRONIC): Prolonged or repeated contact can cause skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Central nervous system diseases, skin disorders, eye
disorders or chronic respiratory diseases may be worsened by exposure.
Ingredients are not considered carcinogenic by OSHA or NTP. IARC monographs list refined bitumens as possibly
carcinogenic to humans based upon animal studies. IARC regards it prudent to treat a material for which there is
sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals as if it is possibly carcinogenic in humans.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Seek emergency medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove material using waterless hand cleaner. Wash skin with mild soap and water. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention. Remove and launder contaminated clothing before reuse. EYE CONTACT: Flush
eyes with cool running water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention.
IF INGESTED: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately. Aspiration can
cause chemical pneumonitis that is potentially fatal.
SECTION 7 鈥? PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED: Eliminate sources of ignition. Ventilate area.
Wear appropriate safety equipment. Restrict access to area of spill. Contain spill using sand or other inert material.
Recover free material to a secure container. Use inert absorbent to pick up residue. Wash area with soap and water.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose of material in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local regulations. This
material is a RCRA regulated hazardous waste.
PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND HANDLING: Do not store containers near heat, sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when
handling product. Grounding is required for pumping or spraying of material. Wash hands after using product and
before eating or smoking.

SECTION 8 鈥? CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. If vapors
exceed TLV, use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator equipped with an Organic Vapor cartridge or self-contained
breathing apparatus.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety goggles or full-face shield.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Impervious plastic or rubber gloves.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear long pants and long sleeved shirt. Remove contaminated clothing and launder
before reuse.
OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Use waterless hand cleaner to remove material from skin. Avoid breathing of
vapors and spray mist. Equipment must be grounded for pumping or spraying. Use explosion-proof equipment. Eye
wash stations and safety showers should be available.
