Section 2 - Composition / Information on Ingredients Component
Additional Component Information
* Ingredient found only in products with S suffix in trade name (e.g, APPeX™ 5S). Respirable crystalline silica from sand is not expected to be released; sand is adhered to product and is >99.9% too large to become airborne or to be respirable. A surface treatment of sand is used as a parting agent; sand may be replaced with either talc (asbestos-free) or other natural, non-hazardous mineral powder. ** Ingredient found only in products with M suffix in trade name (e.g., APPeX™ 4M). Ceramic-coated granite, contains 35% crystalline silica. Airborne crystalline silica not expected to be released; is encapsulated in relatively large (non-respirable) particles that are adhered to product surface. *** Products with FR suffix in trade name also contain Colemanite, a naturally-occurring mineral, for fire resistance.
Section 3 - Hazards Identification Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Dark mat with a sand or granular surface. Asphalt odor. When heated or cut, this product may release dust or fumes. If dust or fumes are inhaled to excess (e.g., in a confined space), they may irritate the upper respiratory tract.
Potential Health Effects
____________________________________________________________
Material Name: Atactic Polypropylene (APP) Roof Sheets Material Safety Data Sheet ID: 3133
Due to the large size of the particles, minimal exposure to airborne dust is expected. Primarily a nuisance dust. Asphalt and its fumes can irritate skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract. See Section 11 for more details.
Inhalation
Irritation of the upper respiratory tract (scratchy throat), coughing, and congestion may occur in extreme exposures.
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Ingestion
This product is not intended to be ingested (eaten). If ingested, it may cause temporary irritation to the gastrointestinal (digestive) tract.
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Primary Routes of Entry (Exposure) Target Organs
Upper respiratory passages, skin, and eyes.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
As with any dust, pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases or conditions may be aggravated.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures First Aid: Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.
First Aid: Skin
Wash gently with soap and warm water to remove dust and fibers. Wash hands before eating or using the restroom.
First Aid: Ingestion
Rinse mouth with water to remove fibers, and drink plenty of water to help reduce the irritation. No chronic effects are expected following ingestion.
First Aid: Eyes
Do not rub or scratch your eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 5-15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a medical professional.
First Aid: Notes to Physician
Substances released from this product during cutting or heating may be irritating, but are not expected to produce any lasting health effects from acute exposures. Treatment should be directed toward removing the source of irritation with symptomatic treatment as necessary.

Material Name: Atactic Polypropylene (APP) Roof Sheets Material Safety Data Sheet ID: 3133 Chronic Toxicity
Respirable crystalline silica from sand is not expected to be released; sand is adhered to product and is >99.9% too large to become airborne or to be respirable. Crystalline silica is considered a hazard by inhalation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified crystalline silica as a Group 1 substance, carcinogenic to humans. This classification is based on the findings of laboratory animal studies (inhalation and implantation) and epidemiology studies that were considered sufficient for carcinogenicity. Several studies have been conducted to determine the risk of cancer to workers exposed to dusts which contain crystalline silica. However, these studies did not consider other factors or elements that workers may be exposed to. Therefore, the causes of the excess deaths due to cancer could not be precisely determined. Further studies are being conducted to determine the risk of cancer when working with crystalline silica products. Excessive exposure to crystalline silica can cause silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease. Asphalt (asphalt CAS # 8052-42-4 and oxidized asphalt 64742-93-4; bitumens): In 1985/87, IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded the following: (a) Bitumens are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). (b) Extracts of steam- and air-refined bitumens are possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). IARC found that evidence for carcinogenicity from animal studies was: inadequate for undiluted air-refined bitumens; limited for steam-refined and cracking-residue bitumens; sufficient for extracts of steam-refined and air-refined bitumen. IARC found that human evidence for carcinogenicity of asphalt fumes was inadequate. Studies of roofers indicated an excess of cancers; however, IARC concluded that, since roofers may be exposed also to coal-tar pitches and other materials, "the excess cancer risk cannot be attributed specifically to bitumens." In 1994, a published review of 20 epidemiology studies of asphalt workers and roofers agreed with IARC, that current human evidence is inadequate for the carcinogenicity of asphalt fumes in humans. Trace amounts of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be present in some asphalts and can be released upon excessive heating, which results in thermal cracking of the asphalt compounds. Some of these PAHs have been identified as having the potential to induce carcinogenic and reproductive health effects. Continuous Filament Glass Fiber: No chronic health effects are known to be associated with exposure to continuous filament fiber glass. Long-term epidemiologic studies do not show any increases in respiratory cancer or other disease among employees who manufacture this product. In 1987, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified continuous filament fiber glass as a Group 3 substance, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans." In 2001, IARC re-affirmed this designation. Because of the large diameter of continuous filament fibers, these fibers are not considered respirable.
