MSDS of bitumen 10/20
Material and company identification Material name : bitumen 10/20 Other names asphalt Product use : bitumen 10/20 for road paving, waterproofing, adhesives, coatings Company : www.atdmco.com Telephone/fax numbers Tel: 0098-2126656401-5 Fax: 0098-2126656254 Composition / information on ingredients Chemical name Cas no. Concentration (Bitumen 10/20) Hazards identification of bitumen 10/20 Appearance and odor: black viscous liquid at high temperatures, solid at ambient temperatures. Safety hazards: Bitumen 10/20 is normally handled at temperatures up to 160 °c. The major hazard is heat burns on skin in direct contact with hot bitumen 10/20. If bitumen 10/20 is overheated, flammable decomposition products may be formed, resulting into fire and explosion. Boil over of tanks due to presence of water. In confined spaces, hydrogen sulfide may accumulate and reach hazardous levels. Pyrophoric deposits may develop in bitumen 10/20 tanks which may self-ignite. Health hazards: Routes of exposure: inhalation, ingestion, skin or eye contact. Skin contact: Severe thermal burns (up to third degree). Shock. Other than heat burns, the hazards associated with skin contact are negligible. W here long and physical contact with bitumen 10/20 occurs, expert medical advice should be sought to the need of periodic skin examination and in case of any skin abnormality. Ingestion: May cause gastric irritation Eye contact: May cause irritation Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors (generated at elevated temperatures) or oil mists can cause irritation to the nose and the throat as well as nausea. It is possible for hydrogen sulphide to accumulate to lethal concentrations above hot bitumen 10/20 in the vapor space of bulk storage tanks. First aid measures inhalation of bitumen 10/20 In case of problems due to excess fumes exposure, move victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention. If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or cpr as required and transport to the nearest medical facility. Skin contact: Burns from hot bitumen 10/20: remove heat by immediately treating/plunging the affected part with cold running water for 10 minutes. After cooling, no attempt should be made to remove the bitumen 10/20 adhering to the skin since the cold bitumen 10/20 forms a sterile protective layer on the burnt area. If For any reason the bitumen 10/20 must be removed, this can be done using slightly warmed medicinal paraffin. Seek medical assistance or hospitalization in all cases of serious burns. Eye contact: Flood eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, blinking as often as possible. Remove deposits around the eye, eyelashes and eyebrows by wiping carefully with a soft cloth soaked With medicinal paraffin oil. Do not force eyelids open. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, get medical advice. Give milk or water to drink. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. First aid facilities Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for emergency use Advise to doctor When it is absolutely necessary to remove adhering bitumen 10/20 from the skin, liberal amounts of warm medicinal paraffin can be used. If solvent treatment is required, washing with soap and water and then the application of a proprietary re-fatting or skin cleansing cream should follow. Firefighting measures fire hazards of bitumen 10/20 Caution! Product is combustible. It will not burn unless preheated. Isolate from sources of heat, naked flames and sparks. The vapor pressure of this product is expected to be too low at ambient temperatures and pressures for the lower explosion limit to be reached. This product is A hazardous substance when heated beyond 100 oc. Petroleum products are flammable (explosive) in proportions between approximately 1% and 10% of vapor in air by volume at ambient temperatures and pressures.earth and bond all process equipment including tanks and Drums. Boil over of tanks may occur due to presence of water. Hazardous combustion products If bitumen 10/20 is over heated, decompostion products may be formed resulting into a fire or explosion hazard. H2s may be released if the product is heated, particularly in the presence of water. Pyrophoric deposits may develop in bitumen 10/20 tanks which may self-ignite. Extinguishing media Use water fog, \’alcohol foam\’, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (co2) to extinguish flames. Do not use water except as a fog. Do not use a direct stream of water. Additional advice Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool surrounding equipment, fire- exposed containers, pipelines and structures with water. Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large quantities of water to prevent weakening of container structure. Do not apply water directly. Accidental release measures protective measures of bitumen 10/20 Caution! Product is combustible. Eliminate all potential sources of ignition. Keep away from heat, naked flames and sparks.stop leak if safe to do so. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Clean up methods Contain residual material at affected sites to prevent material from entering sewers; ditches and waterways. Dike and contain land spills.for small spills, contain the spills with earth, sand or other absorbent. For large liquid spills, pump up excess liquid and absorb residue with earth, sand or other absorbent. Clean contaminated area with water and detergent. Additional advice Maritime spillages should be dealt with using shipboard oil pollution emergency plan (sopep), as required by marpol annex1 regulation 26. handling and storage general precautions Caution! Combustible. Avoid heat, open flames, including pilot lights, and strong oxidizing agents. Store in a well ventilated area. Ground all handling equipment to prevent sparking. This product is a hazardous substance when heated above 100 oc. Handling Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing and foodstuffs. Wash thoroughly after handling. Launder contaminated clothing prior to use; use good personal hygiene. Storage Keep product away from ignition sources such as heat, sparks and flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other sources of ignition prior to use and until all vapors has dissipated. Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Keep containers closed at all times. Exposure controls / personal protection against bitumen 10/20Material | Source | Type | Ppm | Mg/m3 | Notation |
