SECTION 6     HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Primary Routes of Entry:  Inhalation, Skin, Ingestion, Eyes

Effects of Overexposure (Chronic): Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product may result in
   irritation and dermatitis.  

   Asphalt:  The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is
      sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of extracts of steam-refined bitumens, air-refined
      bitumens and pooled mixtures of steam- and air-refined 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.

   California Proposition 65:  This material contains detectable amounts of some chemicals known

      to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive effects.

Effects of Over Exposure (Acute):

   Inhalation – Use with adequate ventilation. Inhalation of high vapor concentration may cause

      headaches and/or dizziness. This material is for exterior use only.

   Skin – Prolonged contact may cause irritation, dermatitis.

   Ingestion – Can cause gastrointestinal irritation.

   Eyes – May cause irritation, blurred vision.
