Section 3: Hazard Identification

Emergency Overview: 

May irritate eyes, mucous membranes, and skin. May cause swelling, dermatitis, 
redness or chemical burns. May cause skin sensitization.

Appearance: black, tar-like.

Flash Point: 383° F (cc)

Target Organs:

Eye: May cause severe pain and injury.

Skin: Contact may cause discomfort, redness, pain, itching, or dermititis.
Skin absorption may be harmful. May cause allergic reactions or skin sensitization.

Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause burning in throat, mouth, and 
stomach. May cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Aspiration Hazard: Inhalation may cause coughing, chest pain, or irritation
of respiratory tract.

Chronic: Prolonged contact or overexposure to vapors may cause skin
sensitization, allergic reactions, or sore throat.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eyes: In case of contact, flush with copious amounts of water for at
least 15 minutes, holding eyes open. Seek medical attention.


Skin: In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If irritation develops, seek medical
attention.


Ingestion: Upon ingestion, immediately give 2-4 glasses of milk or water.
Do not induce vomiting, and call physician immediately.


Inhalation: If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist,
seek medical attention.


Notes to Physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

General Information:
    Absorb with inert material. Vacuum or otherwise pick up and retain for recycle or disposal.  
    Do not flush spilled material to the sewer or the environment.  
    Avoid creating a dust cloud since this could create an a potential 
    for a dust explosion hazard.  Use vacuum equipment designed especially 
    for handling combustible dust.
