VI. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION:
Primary Exposure Route: Skin Contact: X Skin Absorption: X Eye Contact: X Inhalation: X Ingestion:
Product Carcinogenicity - NTP: NONE IARC: NONE
Acute Effects of Overexposure:
VAPORS MAY IRRITATE EYES, SKIN, NOSE AND THROAT. INHALATION MAY PRODUCE DROWSINESS,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, OR DEPRESSION. ASPIRATION MAY CAUSE LIPID PNEUMONITIS OR BRONCHITIS.
INGESTION MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.

Chronic Effects of Overexposure:

PROLONGED CONTACT CAN DEFAT SKIN. OVEREXPOSURE CAN RESULT IN HEADACHES, VERTIGO,
DROWSINESS, AND BLURRED VISION. THERE IS LIMITED EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT PETROLEUM
DISTILLATES MAY RESULT IN KIDNEY DAMAGE TO ANIMALS.

VII. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS:

Eyes: FLUSH WITH CLEAN RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS,
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN.
Skin: WASH AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
Ingestion: GIVE FLUIDS, PREFERABLY MILK. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Inhalation: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROCEDURES:

Spill Response:
REMOVE IGNITION SOURCES. CONTAIN THE SPILL. IF POSSIBLE, RECYCLE/REDRUM. ADD ABSORBENT
MATERIAL. SWEEP OR VACUUM INTO APPROPRIATE WASTE CONTAINER. KEEP OUT OF SEWER AND
WATERWAYS.
Waste Disposal Method:
DISPOSE OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL REGULATIONS DEALING WITH A OIL-BASED DRILLING
FLUID WASTE.
Handling:
WARNING! MATERIAL IRRITATES EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT WITH OVEREXPOSURE. WEAR PROPER
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS.
Storage:
STORE IN A DRY AREA. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND OPEN FLAMES. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED
WHILE NOT USED. WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT REUSE EMPTY CONTAINERS.

IX. OCCUPATIONAL CONTROL MEASURES:

Respiratory Protection: USE SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IN CONFINED OR ENCLOSED SPACES, IF NEEDED.
Ventilation: USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Clothing: WEAR LONG PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WITH AN APRON/COVERALLS FOR ADDED PROTECTION.
Eyewear: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES TO PREVENT EYE CONTACT.
Gloves: AS NEEDED TO PROTECT HANDS FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE.
Footwear: WEAR NORMAL SAFETY BOOTS.
