ENVIRONMENTAL,
HEALTH, & SAFETY INFORMATION
PennzSuppress® D Road Dust Suppressant is
a unique, patented product designed to "safely" control dust,
stabilize soil and control silt run-off from unpaved roads, parks, fields,
forests, etc. With the continued trend toward stricter enforcement of health,
safety and environmental regulations, PennzSuppress®
D provides a cost effective way to reduce dust-related health and
environmental concerns, and aids in complying with clean air and water
requirements.
When agents used to suppress dust and prevent silt run-off were scrutinized by
air and water quality management agencies, PennzSuppress®
D was developed to address their concerns, and at the same time provide
effective dust control and soil stabilization. Many dust suppressants of the
past were made with inadequately refined, potentially carcinogenic petroleum
oils which are diluted with flammable, highly volatile solvents. Other
suppressants contain chemicals which reduce dust, but are reported to be
corrosive to metal on vehicles and other equipment which comes into contact
with treated areas.
The patented formula for PennzSuppress® D
replaces solvent diluted carcinogenic oils and other chemicals with
water-emulsified petroleum resin and binding agents, wetting agents and
emulsifiers. PennzSuppress® D imposes
neither physical nor health hazards, and is therefore considered non-hazardous
according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard
Communication Standard. In detail, the non-hazardous characteristics of
PennzSuppress® D can be classified as
follows:
Environment-related
-
NOT CHARACTERISTICALLY HAZARDOUS
(Toxic Characteristics Leaching Procedure)
-
DOES NOT INHIBIT PLANT GROWTH
