SECTION 6 HEALTH HAZARD DATA

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

Inhalation: Overexposure to vapor may result in irritation to respiratory tract. Prolonged exposure in
significant excess of permissible air concentrations can result in acute toxic effects, such as
respiratory difficulty, convulsions and possible cardiovascular collapse.

Ingestion: Irritation of the gastrointestinal tract followed by nausea and vomiting. Abnormal
discomfort, rapid pulse, convulsive movements.

Skin: Contact with skin can result in irritation which, when not washed off or when accentuated by
sunlight, can result in minor burns.

Eyes – Overexposure to product vapors can result in irritation. Eye contact with product will result in
irritation, which in the absence of recommended first aid can result in minor burns to eyes.

Unusual Chronic Toxicity – NTP – Carcinogenic

Prolonged and repeated skin exposure over many years in the absence of recommended hygiene
practices may lead to changes in skin pigmentation, benign skin growths and may, in some cases,
result in skin cancer. Additionally, inhalation of vapors over a period of several years may present lung
cancer hazard.

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.

SECTION 7 FIRST AID PROCEDURE

Skin: Clean affected area with a waterless hand cleaner, then wash area thoroughly with soap and

water. If redness, etc., persists, consult a physician.

Eyes: Flush with large amounts of water. 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.
