4. FIRST – AID MEASURES

Necessary First Aid Measures:

Inhalation – Immediately move individual away from the exposure area and into fresh air.
Seek medical attention immediately. If victim is not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If victim’s
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.

Skin Contact – This material is normally stored or handled at elevated temperatures that
could cause scalding. If thermal burns occur, seek medical attention immediately. Any contact with
2
 material at ambient temperature should be rinsed from the skin with copious amounts of soap and
water.

Eye Contact – Immediately move individual away from the exposure area and into fresh air.
Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. Seek
medical attention immediately. Contact lenses should not be worn while working with this chemical.

Ingestion – Do not induce vomiting – aspiration (inhaling fluid) may result. Ingestion of this
material is not likely during normal handling operations. If victim becomes drowsy or unconscious,
seek medical attention immediately. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, monitor for breathing
difficulty.

Over-Exposure Signs and Symptoms:

Inhalation – Respiratory tract irritation, coughing
Skin Contact – Pain or irritation, redness, blistering may occur
Eye Contact – Pain, watering, redness
Ingestion – Stomach pain

Indication of Immediate Medical Attention/Special Treatment:

Note to Physician – In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may
be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

See toxicological information (Section 11)

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

NFPA Classification Health-2 Fire-0 Reactivity-0 Other -NA

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Extinguishing foam, dry chemical.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Water jet.

Specific Hazards: May form carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.

Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters:

Avoid the use of water when fighting a fire involving this product. Wear an approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated with positive pressure and chemical
resistant personal protective equipment.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions/Emergency Procedures:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate
surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or
walk through spilled material. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear
appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective
equipment.

3
 Protective Equipment: Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves,
boots, face shield, and Tyvek suits.

Environmental Precautions:
Prevent material and runoff from entering drains, sewers, streams, and other bodies of
water. Spilt materials should be placed in compatible containers. Residual product may be absorbed
with sand, clay, earth, floor absorbent or other absorbent material and placed in appropriate
containers. Dispose of material in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleanup:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind.
Prevent entry into sewers, waterways, basements or confined areas. Contain and collect spillage
with non-combustible, absorbent material (i.e. sand, earth, absorbent pads.) and place in container
for disposal according to local, state, and federal regulations. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled
product.

See Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling:

Put on personal protective equipment when handling (See Section 8). Do not get in eyes or
on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. If during normal use the material
presents a respiratory hazard, use adequate ventilation or wear appropriate respirator. Do not cut,
grind, drill, weld, or reuse containers unless adequate precautions are taken against the hazards.
Do not use excessive temperatures. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or storage. Empty
containers may contain flammable, combustible or explosive vapor residue.

Conditions for Safe Storage:

Store in tightly closed containers in a dry, isolated, well ventilated area away from sources
of ignition and incompatibilities. Keep container tightly sealed until ready for use. Containers that
have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in
unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Avoid
extreme temperatures in storage. Emulsions will boil at temperatures greater than 212 degrees F
and freeze at temperatures less than 32 degrees F.

7 mg/ cu. m ceiling
Naphtha 500 PPM TWA 5mg/cu. m
Styrene Butadiene Ethanol PEL 1000 ppm STEL value 1000 ppm

Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient general and/or local exhaust ventilation to maintain
exposure below the TLV(s).

Individual Protection Measures:

Hygiene Measures – Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking, and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Use good personal hygiene when handling asphalt products.
Never wipe eyes or skin with PPE that has been exposed.

Respiratory Protection – Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying

with an approved standard(NIOSH/MSHA) if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the
product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Use positive pressure air supplied
respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known or any
other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Avoid
working with this material in closed areas with improper ventilation.

Skin Protection – Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved

standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. Long sleeved cotton shirt and long cotton pants are suggested to avoid potential
risk for exposure. Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved.

Eye/Face Protection – Safety eyewear including; glasses, goggles, or face shield complying
with an approved standard should be used when handling to avoid exposure to liquid splashes,
mists, gases, or dusts. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the
workstation location. Do not wear contact lenses when handling this material.

Check before and during use that all personal protection equipment still retains their protective
properties.
