How should MSDS data be reviewed to identify hazardous solvents in rubberised bitumen emulsions?

[Sigfried]

Start by confirming the SDS is for the exact product code and revision date. In the composition section, check for petroleum distillates, aromatic solvents, or other volatile organics and compare their concentration ranges with exposure limits. Review flash point, VOC statements, and transport classification. In handling and PPE sections, verify ventilation requirements and skin contact precautions. Rubberised systems are often water based, but some products include solvent carriers or additives, so you must not assume low hazard. Also check incompatibilities, spill cleanup method, and disposal requirements aligned to local regulations.
