4. First aid measures

Eye contact : Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation : Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if
respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention
immediately.
Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention immediately.
Protection of first-aiders : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is
suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or
self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to
give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Flammability of the product : In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
Extinguishing media
Suitable : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Not suitable : None known.
Special exposure hazards : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training.
Hazardous thermal : No specific data.
decomposition products
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers.
Methods for cleaning up
Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert material.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

6. Accidental release measures

Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Dike spill area and do not allow product to reach sewage system or surface or
ground water. Notify any reportable spill to authorities. (See section 12 for environmental
risks and 13 for disposal information.) Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Dispose
of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose
the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact
information and section 13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage

Handling : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Empty containers retain product residue and can be
hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area,
away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep container tightly closed and
sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed
and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

[1]Absorbed through skin.

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
Only components of this product with established exposure limits appear in the box above.
If OSHA permissible exposure levels are shown above they are the OSHA 1989 levels or are from subsequent
OSHA regulatory actions. Although the 1989 levels have been vacated the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Baker
Hughes recommends that these lower exposure levels be observed as reasonable worker protection.
Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere
procedures or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation
or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment.
Engineering measures : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor
or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls
to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory
limits.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Ensure that
eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Take off
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Personal protection
Respiratory : If a risk assessment indicates it is necessary, use a properly fitted, air purifying or
supplied air respirator complying with an approved standard. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the
safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hands : Chemical-resistant gloves.
Eyes : Wear chemical safety goggles. When transferring material wear face-shield in addition to
chemical safety goggles.
