LSU-30-30-30 Asphalt Laminated Underlayment

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA In the solid state these materials are defined as “articles” as defined by 21CFR 1900.1210 (OSHA Hazards Communications Law) paragraph (b) (5) (iv) and are not considered hazardous. In addition, “articles” are not included in the scope of the Globally Harmonization System (GHS). As such, the GHS and CLP labeling elements are not included on this SDS. All components listed for this product are bound within the product. When handled as intended and under normal conditions of use, this product is not expected to create any physical hazards or health risks to humans. Due to product form, exposure to dusts and fumes is not expected to occur. Although these products are not subject to the OSHA Standard or GHS and CLP labeling elements, Jackson Building Products. has prepared this Safety Data Sheet to provide as much health and safety information as possible to ensure protection of people that come in contact with the material in manufacturing, handling, transporting, and installing, as well as the end users and the environment.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

The product is an article, therefore no classification is required.

2.3 Other hazards

All components listed for this product are bound within the product. When handled as intended and under normal conditions of use, this product is not expected to create any physical hazards or health risks to humans. Due to product form, exposure to dusts and fumes is not expected to occur. Effect of Acute Exposure to Product/or the Raw Materials: This manufactured article as produced and when used under ambient conditions poses no health hazard. However, if the product is heated beyond 200°C or if it catches fire, then the major constituent asphalt emanates slightly irritating fumes. Melted asphalt (bitumen) from the product and the kraft paper could act as a fuel and contribute to fire. NIOSH has found that studies of workers exposed to asphalt fumes have repeatedly found irritation of the serous membranes of the conjunctivae (eye irritation) and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract (nasal and throat irritation). Eyes: Asphalt fumes are moderately irritating to the eyes. Skin: Exposure to hot material causes thermal burns. Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely. Inhalation: Prolonged inhalation of fumes from hot asphalt causes nausea, headache and dizziness. Carcinogenicity: NIOSH has concluded that the collective data from human, animal, genotoxicity and exposure studies provide sufficient evidence that asphalt fumes are a potential occupational carcinogen.
