7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

General Precautions : Avoid contact with hot liquid to prevent thermal burns. Extinguish any naked flames.
Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Take precautionary measures
against static discharges. Use local exhaust ventilation if there is a risk of inhalation of
vapor, mist or aerosols.

Handling : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhaling vapor and/or mists. Use only
in well-ventilated areas. For quality, health and safety reasons do not exceeds the
recommended storage and handling temperature.

Storage : Must be stored in a well-ventilated area, away from sunlight, ignition sources and other
sources of heat. Keep tanks covered and containers tightly closed when not in use. Bulk
storage tanks should be diked (bunded). Do not smoke in storage areas. Hydrogen
Sulfide may accumulate in tanks during long term storage at high temperatures. For this
reason, tank vapor spaces be regarded as hazardous. Storage Temperature: refer to
Technical Data Sheet for correct storage and handling temperatures.

Recommended materials : For containers, container linings use mild steel and stainless steel.

Unsuitable materials
Precautions during
Discharge from Tanks
: For containers or container linings, avoid using PVC, polyethylene or high density
polyethylene.
: Tanks may be heated by hot oil, steam, electricity or flame bitumen tank tubes. When
pumping product from a storage or road tank, care should be taken to avoid the risk of
fire or explosion as a results of exposing hot heater tubes. The tubes should be covered
by a minimum of 150mm of hot product, unless the heat has been switched off for a

4
 period of sufficient cooling. Bulk temperature should be kept as low as possible, to
enable efficient discharge. A check should be made to ensure that the receiving tank has
sufficient ullage space to accommodate the load

: Stable under normal conditions of use.
: Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Heating above the maximum
recommended storage and handling temperature, will cause degradation and evolution
of flammable vapor.
: Do not allow molten materials to contact water or liquids as this can make violent
eruptions, splatter hot material or ignite flammable material. Reacts with strong
oxidizing agents. Avoid contamination of thermal insulation near hot surface by oil and
bitumen and replace lagging where necessarily, with a non-absorbent type of insulation.
Self-heating, leading to an auto-ignition at the surface of porous or fibrous materials
impregnated with bitumen and condensates from bituminous fumes can occur at
temperatures below 100⁰C.
: Toxicological data have not been determined specifically for this product. Information
given is based on data on the components and the toxicology of similar products.
: Expected to be of low toxicity: LD₅₀ > 5000 mg/kg, RAT.
: Expected to be of low toxicity: LD₅₀ > 5000mg/kg, RABBIT.
: Remarks: Low toxicity by inhalation.
High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression resulting in
headaches, dizziness and nausea.
: Irritating to skin. Contact with hot materials can cause thermal burns which may result
in permanent skin damage.
: Expected to be slightly irritating. Hot product may cause severe eye burns and/or
blindness.
: Bitumen contains low concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs). In

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eco-toxicological data have not been determined specifically for this product. Information given is based on knowledge of
the components and the eco- toxicology of similar products.

Acute Toxicity : Poorly soluble mixture. May cause physical fouling of aquatic organisms. Expected to
be practically non-toxic: LL/EL/IL1>10mg/I (to aquatic organism) (LL/50 express as
the nominal amount of product required to prepare aqueous test extract).

Mobility : This product will form a film on the surface of water and spread. The solvent will
evaporate and the bitumen will adsorb to the sediment. In contact with soil, it can
penetrate the upper layers and/or affect nearby watercourses before hardening. In time
the solvent will evaporate.

Persistence/ degradability : Expected to be not inherently bio-degradable.

Bio-accumulation : Has the potential to bio-accumulate. In practice, the very low water solubilities and high
molecular weights of these substances are such that their bioavailability to aquatic
organism is limited and therefore bioaccumulation is unlikely.

Other Adverse effect : Not expected to have ozone depletion potential, photo chemical ozone creation potential
or global warming potential.
