Chemical Composition/Ingredients
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.

The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.-

Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Danger. May cause cancer. Causes skin and eye irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Can cause silicosis and other permanent lung damage.
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Can cause eye irritation.
Skin Contact: Can cause skin irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction.
Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: May cause harmful effects, if swallowed. -
Chronic health effects
From SDS:
In addition to cancer, exposure to formaldehyde by inhalation in humans has been associated with respiratory symptoms and eye, nose, and throat irritation. Repeated contact with liquid solutions of formaldehyde has resulted in skin irritation and allergic contact dermatitis in humans.
In addition to cancer, breathing of silica over a period of time can cause damage to the lung tissue and silicosis after long exposure at low concentrations causing shortness of breath, fever, coughing, and weight loss. Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable silica-containing dust may also cause autoimmune disease, kidney disease, tuberculosis, nonmalignant respiratory disease, and bronchitis.
In addition to cancer, prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in dryness and irritation of the skin. Long term skin exposure to asphalt can increase sensitivity to the sun and may cause discoloration. Oxidized asphalt may also cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. -
Carcinogenicity
This product may contain formaldehyde. IARC and NTP have classified formaldehyde as a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence that formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal cancer in humans, limited evidence for cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and “strong but not sufficient evidence" for leukemia. The finding for leukemia reflects the epidemiologists’ finding of strong evidence in human studies coupled with an inability to identify a mechanism for induction of leukemia. The physicalnature of this product may help limit any inhalation hazard from formaldehyde during application and in its hardened state.This product contains oxidized asphalt. Occupational exposures to oxidized asphalt and its emissions during roofing activities have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A). IARC based this classification on its finding that available data from studies in humans points to an association between exposures to oxidized asphalts during roofing and cancers of the lung and upper aerodigestive tract. IARC also determined that there was sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity of extracts and condensates of oxidized asphalts in experimental animals. The oxidized asphalt in this product may contain small amounts of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s) some of which are recognized carcinogens in humans or experimental animals. Oxidized asphalt may also cause irritation of the respiratory tract. The physical nature of this product may help limit any inhalation hazard from oxidized asphalt during application in its hardened state. However, physical forces such as grinding, drilling and other demolition work on this product may liberate dust containing oxidized asphalt. Burning or heating of the product may cause fumes, vapors or mists.This product contains crystalline silica(quartz). IARC has determined that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). IARC concluded that there was sufficient evidence in humans and animals for the carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz from occupational sources. The NTP has classified silica as known to be a human carcinogen. The physical nature of this product may help limit any inhalation hazard from crystalline silica during application and in its hardened state. However, physical forces such as grinding, drilling and other demolition work on this product may liberate crystalline silica dust. -

First Aid
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water for at least 20 minutes, occasionally lifting the eye lids to ensure thorough rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.Skin Contact: Clean any exposed skin with warm soapy water if possible. If not, and a waterless hand cleaner is used, it should be without pumice. Do not use solvents or thinners to remove material from skin. Get medical attention if irritation persists or develops.Inhalation: If inhalation of cured product particles, fumes, vapors, or mist occurs, remove person to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat or blow nose to clear. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel and get immediate medical attention.Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to avoid aspiration of vomit into the lungs which can cause inflammation or pneumonitis. Call poison control center or get immediate medical attention.
