respiratory tract irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing
airborne product. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash
thoroughly after handling.

Note: Although Asphaltite is not a carcinogen, processes in which Asphaltite is brought

to very high temperatures may alter its complex hydrocarbon structure and may
produce carcinogenic substances.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty persists.
Eye contact: Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Get
medical attention.
Skin contact: Not expected to require first aid measures. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. Get medical
attention if discomfort continues.
Ingestion: Though not expected to be a primary route of exposure, if ingestion occurs,
dilute with 2-3 glasses of water or milk if conscious. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by a physician. If subject is un- conscious do not give anything by
mouth nor induce vomiting. Consult a physician.
