2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
HEALTH HAZARDS:
Not classified as a health hazard under GHS criteria.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
Not classified as an environmental hazard under GHS criteria.
Other Hazards which do : Not classified as flammable but will burn. Do not allow molten
not result in classification material to contact water or liquids as this can cause violent
eruptions, splatter hot material, or ignite flammable material.
These deposits, (carbonaceous materials and iron sulphides),
may be pyrophoric and self-ignite when brought into contact
with air (opening of tank). Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), an
extremely flammable and toxic gas, and other hazardous
vapours may evolve and collect in the headspace of storage
tanks, transport vessels and other enclosed containers.
Hydrogen sulphide is highly toxic and may be fatal if inhaled.
May dull the sense of smell and has a high odour threshold, so
do not rely on odour as an indication of hazard. Contact with
hot material can cause thermal burns which may result in
permanent skin damage. Hot product may cause severe eye
burns and/or blindness.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
General Information : DO NOT DELAY. Keep victim calm. Obtain medical treatment
immediately.
Inhalation : If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the
nose or throat, remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not
occur, obtain medical attention. Casualties suffering ill effects
as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled or released material. For guidance on selection of personal protective
equipment see Chapter 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. See Chapter 13 for information on
disposal.
Personal Precautions, : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Hot product should

Emergency Procedures air or fresh air respiratory equipment in confined spaces.
Environmental : Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers
Precautions by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers.
Methods and Material for : Small spillage:
Containment and Allow product to cool and solidify. Shovel into a suitable clearly
Cleaning Up marked container for disposal or reclamation in accordance
with local regulations. Large spillage:
Prevent from spreading by making a barrier with sand, earth or
other containment material. Treat residues as for small
spillage.
Additional Advice : Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages

General Precautions : Avoid contact with hot liquid to prevent thermal burns.
Precautions for Safe : For quality, health and safety reasons do not exceed the
Handling recommended storage and handling temperature. Clean, dry
and heat resistant hoses (free of twists, etc.) should be used.
Do not use steam to empty pipelines and hoses. Use
compressed air to blow product from the system or apply a
vacuum to suck the product from the system. Do not use
solvents to clear obstructions of pipelines. Use local exhaust
ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or
aerosols. Bulk storage tanks should be diked (bunded).
Conditions for Safe : Keep dry. Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Prevent all
Storage contact with water and with moist atmosphere. In case of long-
term storage, deposits may develop on walls and roofs of
storage tanks. These deposits, (carbonaceous materials and
iron sulphides), may be pyrophoric and self-ignite when
brought into contact with air (opening of tank). Hydrogen
sulphide may accumulate in tanks during long term storage at
high temperatures. For this reason, tank vapour spaces should
be regarded as hazardous. Refer to section 15 for any
additional specific legislation covering the packaging and
storage of this product. Storage Temperature: Temperature
should be kept at least 30°C below flash point and should
never exceed the industry recommended maximum safe
working temperature of 200°C.
Recommended Materials : For containers or container linings, use stainless steel.
Unsuitable Materials : For containers or container linings avoid PVC, polyethylene or
high density polyethylene.
Precautions During : Tanks may be heated by hot oil, steam, electricity or flame
Discharge from Bitumen tubes. When pumping product from a storage or road tank,
Tanks care should be taken to avoid the risk of fire or explosion as a
result 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 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.

Other Advice : The inherent toxic and olfactory (sense of smell) fatiguing
properties of hydrogen sulphide require that air monitoring
alarms be used if concentrations are expected to reach harmful
levels such as in enclosed spaces, heated transport vessels
and spill or leak situations. If the air concentration exceeds 10
ppm, the area should be evacuated unless respiratory
protection is in use.
Additional Information : Product has a low volatility and at ambient temperature fume
formation will be low. Avoid vapours from heated materials to
prevent exposure to potentially toxic/irritating fumes.
Appropriate Engineering : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary

Basis for Assessment : Information given is based on product testing, and/or similar
products, and/or components. Unless indicated otherwise, the
data presented is representative of the product as a whole,
rather than for individual component(s).
