Chemical Nature: Penetration grade asphalt is the major fraction of the emulsion and is not classified as hazardous substance. The process of dispersion of the asphalt into water does not alter the classification.

Dangerous Components: In terms of the Hazardous Subsistence Act 1973 (Act 15 of 1973) bitumen which is the major fraction of an emulsion is declared to be hazardous in terms of Group 2 hazardous substances

Other Information: Emulsions are prepared by mixing or milling bitumen, water and emulsifier Chemicals to ensure that performance criteria are met. This process does not affect the classification or handling information given elsewhere in the Material Data Sheet 

Effects of Overexposure:

Hydrogen Sulphide may accumulate in the head space of containers. Prolonged exposure to vapor concentrations above the recommended exposure standard may cause irritation of the skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract.

Emergency Response Data:

This product is not classified as hazardous under dot regulations

Extinguishing media:

Carbon Dioxide, foam, dry chemical.

Special fire-fighting procedures:

Water may be ineffective but can be used to cool containers exposed to heat or flame. Caution should be exercised when using water or foam as frothing may occur, especially if sprayed into containers of hot, burning liquid.

Special protective equipment: For fires in enclosed areas, fire fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Unusual fire and explosion hazards:

Flash Point °C: NA,

Flammable limits - LEL: NA, UEL: NA.

NFPA hazard ID:

Health: 1

Flammability: 0

Reactivity: 0

Hazardous decomposition products:

carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other oxides

Notification procedures: Report spills as required to appropriate authorities.

Procedures if material is released or spilled: Contain spill immediately. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb with appropriate inert material such as sand, clay, etch large spills may be picked up using vacuum pumps, shovels, buckets or other means and placed in drums or other suitable containers.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow spill to enter sewers or watercourses

Personal precautions: See Section 10

Handling: When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn

Storage: Store in closed containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials. Fire extinguishers should be kept readily available. See NFPA 30 and OSHA 1910.106 flammable and combustible liquids

Ventilation: If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled, adequate ventilation in accordance with good engineering practice must be provided to maintain concentrations below the specified exposure or flammable limits

Respiratory protection: respiratory protection is not required under conditions of normal use. If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled or fumes exceed 5 mg3/M use an organic vapor respirator with a dust and mist filter. All respirators must be NIOSH certified. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres.

Eye protection: eye protection is not required under conditions of normal use. if material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, wear plastic face shield or splash-proof safety goggles. Skin protection: long sleeved shirt and long pants (boots, gloves, aprons, etc.) over parts of the body subject to exposure. If handling hot material, use insulated protective clothing (boots, gloves, aprons).

OTHER: Consumption of food and beverages should be avoided in work areas where hydrocarbons are present. Always wash hands and face with soap and water before eating, drinking, or smoking.

Stability (thermal, light, etc.): Stable

Conditions to avoid: Temperatures above 100 ºC

Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Do not allow molten product to contact water or other liquid. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: None expected under normal use conditions.

Acute toxicology:

Oral toxicity: (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg).

Dermal toxicity: (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg).

Inhalation toxicity: Not considered to be an inhalation hazard under normal conditions of use.

Eye irritation: Slight Skin irritation (rabbits): Expected to be slightly irritant.

Environmental fate and effects: Paving grade bitumen are not thought to present any significant environmental hazard. If hot bitumen is spilled onto soil or water it quickly cools and becomes solid and only a physical fouling hazard then exists. Bitumen is not inherently biodegradable. 

Waste disposal: All disposals must comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Waste material may be land filled or incinerated at an approved facility. Materials should be recycled if possible. 

Transportation: Transportation by rail, cars, tank trucks, drums
