Boiling Point : Not Applicable %Volatile by volume :Not Applicable
Evaporation Rate : Not Applicable % Volatile by weight :Not Applicable
Vapor Density: Not Applicable Weight per gallon :Not Applicable
PH Level: Not Applicable Appearance :Solid asphaltic
SECTION IV HEALTH INFORMATION
EYE CONTACT: May cause mechanical irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause mechanical irritation.
INHALATION: Under normal use this product is not hazardous via inhalation.
INGESTION: This product has a low order of toxicity. If symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation develop, seek medical attention.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: None with normal product use.
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS: None with normal product use.
OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: From skin-painting studies in laboratory animals, it has been concluded that some asphalts may possess weak carcinogenic activity. This means that workers who practice poor personal hygiene, and who are repeatedly exposed by direct skin contact with petroleum asphalt over many years, may potentially be at risk of developing skin cancer. Intermittent or occasional skin contact with petroleum asphalt is not expected to have serious health effects as long as good personal hygiene measures, such as those outlined in this material safety data sheet, are followed. In addition, asphalt vapors may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, some of which are known to be carcinogenic. Therefore, prolonged breathing of vapors should be avoided.
SECTION V EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush with water to remove particulates.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water to remove particulates. Wash affected area with soap and water if available.
INHALATION: None normally required.
