Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [CLP]]
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
The substance is not classified as hazardous under
2.2 Label elements
None.
2.3 Other hazards
Given the hot use of the product, the greatest danger for users is the possibility of burns from contact with the molten product or its fumes. Heated bitumen emits fumes. Although it is assumed that such fumes do not present significant dangers to health, normal caution advises to limit exposure as much as possible, using correct working procedures and ensuring good ventilation of the working environments. Prolonged inhalation of the fumes of the hot product can cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Hydrogen sulfide (toxic and flammable gas) may be present in the fumes, which can accumulate until dangerous concentrations are reached in storage tanks. The product does not meet the PBT or vPvB classification criteria set out in Annex XIII to REACH. The substance shall not have endocrine-disrupting properties in accordance with the criteria laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2100 or Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605.
