Other Information Heating - Correct application temperature is Equivicous Temperature (EVT) which is the
temperature that the asphalt in the mop bucket or mechanical spreader must be at to
achieve asphalt consistency or viscosity necessary to ensure that the correct amount of
asphalt is applied to the roof. Minimize temperature to which product is heated in the kettle
to obtain EVT during application in order to maintain quality of installed material and reduce
hazard from fumes, hydrogen sulfide, kettle cooking and kettle flashes. Maximum kettle
temperature should be 25°F less than flashpoint to control generation of fumes and to avoid
possible explosion hazard but the product should never be heated over 550°F regardless of
flashpoint.

Other Information Vacated limits revoked by the Court of Appeals decision in AFL-CIO v. OSHA, 965 F.2d 962
(11th Cir., 1992).
Engineering Controls Follow NIOSH guidelines for controlling exposure to fumes that are found in Asphalt Fume
Exposures During the Application of Hot Asphalt to Roofs DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No.
2003-112 (June 2003). These include:
1. Use fume suppressing asphalt (TruLoÒ Max) or kettles with afterburner or kettle loading
systems when feasible,
2. Use kettles of appropriate size for the job,
3. Make sure lids fit tightly, close the lid when asphalt is not being added and minimize the
number of times that the lid must be opened,
4. Chop the kegs into easy-to-handle pieces before opening lid to reduce time it is open,
5. Place the kettle downwind from workers, and with lid facing away from building,
6. Place the kettle away from air intake vents, doors and windows,
7. Restrict access to the area around kettle,
8. Calibrate kettle thermometers and thermostats at least monthly, and
9. Adhere to EVTs at point of application and use insulated kettles and piping to minimize
the kettle temperature needed to achieve the application EVT.

Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Immediate Health Effects: Inhalation of vapors, fumes and/or mist may cause nose, throat, and mucous membrane
irritation, and nausea, headaches or dizziness, and central nervous system depression,
including drowsiness, loss of coordination, and unconsciousness. Eye contact may cause
severe irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision. If ingested, may cause mouth, throat
and gastrointestinal tract irritation and upset with possible nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Aspiration of petroleum distillates into the lungs can cause severe chemical pneumonitis
that can be fatal. See Section 8 for exposure controls.
Delayed Health Effects Prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in dryness and irritation of the skin.
Prolonged contact with clothing saturated in petroleum distillates can cause second degree
burns. Long term skin exposure to asphalt can increase sensitivity to the sun, and may
cause discoloration.
