2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
2.2 Hazards not Otherwise Classified May contain or release poisonous hydrogen
sulfide gas
2.3 Label Elements
Hazard pictogram(s):
Special H2S Warning: This product may contain trace quantities of hydrogen
sulfide (H2S) gas, which may collect in confined spaces. Acute
effects vary with concentration of H2S released from
mild eye, nose and throat irritation at approximately 100 ppm
to sudden unconsciousness or death near 500 ppm.
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Skin: Wipe material from skin and remove contaminated shoes and
clothing. Cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with

mild soap and water and, if necessary, a waterless skin
cleanser. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek
medical attention.
Conditions aggravated by ND
exposition:
Other:
Special H2S Warning: Care must be taken by those who are rendering aid to the
victim because H2S may be in area and may also overcome
rescuers unless it has been determined that the
area is free of hydrogen sulfide. The odor of hydrogen sulfide
may not be recognized after prolonged inhalation due to
paralysis of the sense of smell. Effects from inhaling the fume
may lead to chronic bronchitis, respiratory irritation, increased
loss of pulmonary function, and tearing of the eyes. Refer to
H2S SDS for more detailed information about this material.
5.1 Properties
Ignition point: 720°F
Flash point (method use): < 24°F
Flammability limits in air % vol.:
Lower: 1.1
Higher: 7.3
5.2 Extinction agents Foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames. Water spray is recommended to cool or protect exposed
materials or structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen.
Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
Water may be ineffective for extinguishment, unless used under
favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters.
5.4 Danger of explosion and This material is flammable and can be ignited by heat, sparks,
unexpected fire flames or other sources of ignition (e.g., static electricity, pilot
lights, or mechanical/electrical equipment, and electronic devices
such as cell phones, computers, calculators and pagers which
have not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors may form
explosive mixture with air. Containers may explode under fire
conditions. Severe explosion hazard when exposed to flame.
Flashback along
6.1 Personal precautions Stay upwind and away from spill. Do not enter or stay in
area unless monitoring indicates OK. Isolate hazard
area; restrict entry.
6.2 Environmental precautions Stop the source of the spill. Contain the material released
or spilled by means of inert absorbent (dry clay, dirt or sand), or
commercial absorbents. Recover as much oil as possible with
pumps or vacuum trucks and send it to Slop 0il System or
Solids Handling Facility (Units 63 and 62, respectively). Keep
out of sewers/waterways.
7.1 Precautionary measures Open container slowly to release any pressure. Do not breathe
material. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Avoid heat, open flames, including pilot lights, and
strong oxidizing agents. Use explosion- proof ventilation to
prevent vapor accumulation. Ground all handling equipment to
prevent sparking. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
After handling material: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking,
applying cosmetics, or using toilet. Launder contaminated
clothing before reuse. Discard saturated leather articles that
cannot be decontaminated. When asphaltic products are
heated, they may give off small amounts of hydrogen
sulfide, an extremely flammable, highly toxic gas.
Container Warnings: Keep containers closed when not in use. Containers, even those
that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not
cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near
containers.
Type of protective gloves: Use nitrile, PVA, or Viton® gloves to prevent skin
contact. Use Viton® gloves for extended use (more than
4 hours) or immersion. Depending on the conditions of
use, apron and/or arm covers may be necessary.
Additional protective equipment: Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick
drench shower in the immediate work area. Full body
clothing may include CPF2, CPF3, or CPF4 or
Saranex® coated Tyvek®, depending on the task.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands after handling and before eating.
Avoid inhalation and skin contact. Launder work clothes
frequently. Discard saturated leather goods.
10.1 Conditions to be avoided and/or Material is stable under normal conditions. Flammable
that could worsen the exposition liquid and vapor. Vapor can cause flash fires. Avoid
heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition.
10.4 Materials to be avoided Avoid contact with nitric acid and strong oxidizing
agents.
10.5 Products with danger of Combustion can yield carbon, nitrogen and sulfur
Decomposition oxides and other organic compounds.
