Section 2: Hazardous Ingredients
Section 3: Hazard Identification
|
Route of Entry: |
|
Inhalation: |
Yes |
| Skin: |
Yes |
| Ingestion: |
No |
|
Acute and Chronic Effects: Heated material may cause thermal burns or rash. When cold, no effects expected. Single short-term exposures can cause skin
irritation on prolonged or repeated exposure. Inhalation: Vapors containing hydrogen sulfide that may accumulate during storage or transport.
Carcinogenicity: NTP, IARC, OSHA: none reported
Signs/symptoms of Overexposure: Irritation to eyes, skin and lungs after repeated exposure. Eyes/skin: Permanent damage, rash, thermal burns.
|
Section 4: First Aid Measures
|
Eye contact: |
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin contact: |
Immediately flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes. Clean skin with waterless hand cleaner. Seek medical aid if irritation persists or develops. |
| Inhalation: |
Remove from exposure. Seek medical aid if respiratory difficulty persists or develops. |
| Swallowed: |
Seek medical aid. Do not induce vomiting. |
Section 5: Fire And Explosion
Flash point: 200°F
Flash point method: COC
Extinguishing media: Agents approved for Class B fires (e.g., CO2, dry chemical, or foam, water fog).
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved SCBA and full protective equipment.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: If hydrogen sulfide is present in sufficient quantities, flammable limits can increase to 4–45% by volume and pyrophoric iron
compounds can be formed.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill Response Procedures: Recover spilled material and reuse.
Preparing Waste for Disposal: Disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Enclosed-controlled incineration recommended,
depending on jurisdiction.
Section 7: Handling & Storage
Respiratory Protection: None needed at ambient temperatures. If present in high vapors concentrations or TLV is exceeded, use NIOSH/MSHA approved supplied-air
respirator.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields should be worn at all times.
Gloves: Nitrobutyl rubber or neoprene.
Other Clothing: Long sleeves.
Work Practices: Do not smoke.
Hygiene Practices: Wash exposed skin with soap and water.
Other Handling Requirements: No special measures required.
Protective Measures During Maintenance of Contaminated Equipment: No special measures required
Storage: Keep adequate ventilation in outside storage. Hydrogen sulfide gas may accumulate in storage tanks and bulk transport compartments containing asphalts.
Section 8: Physical Properties
Vapor density (air=1): Negligible
Melting point: N/A
Specific gravity: 1.0–1.9
Boiling point: N/A
Solubility in water: Negligible, < 0.1%
Evaporation rate: Negligible
Vapor pressure: N/A
Appearance and odor: Black semi-solid mixture
Section 9: Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity: Material is stable and will not polymerize. May react with strong oxidizing agents such as chlorates, nitrates and peroxides. At room temperature,
hydrogen sulfide may be given off.
Materials/Conditions to Avoid: High temperature heating.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Heating this material may produce hydrogen sulfide.
Section 10: Toxicological Information
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) conducted a thorough literature search in 1985 and determined that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of
undiluted asphalt (the major ingredient in emulsified asphalt) in animals and humans.
