| Calcium hydroxide EC: 215-137-3 | 1305-62-0 | 1 - 3% | Yes |
| Fatty acids, tall-oil, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, maleic anhydride, tetraethylenepentamine and triethylenetetramine EC: 273-601-0 | 68990-47-6 | 0.1 - 1% | Yes |
Notes
Drilling fluid is a highly complex and variable blend of several proprietary products. Each drilling fluid is designed to meet the drilling requirements of a specific well. During the drilling process the composition and physical properties of the drilling fluid are constantly changing; therefore, a complete disclosure of a particular fluid's composition is impractical. This product has the potential of being a Skin Sensitizer. However, testing has shown that this product is not classified as a Skin Sensitizer due to the low concentration present (Ref. Study Code 14/031-037E, Study Plan OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 429, Skin Sensitization). The viscosity of this product is high enough that it is not an aspiration risk and the H304 phrase does not apply. This product contains a small quantity of quartz, crystalline silica. Prolonged and repeated exposure to concentrations of crystalline silica exceeding the workplace exposure limit (WEL) may lead to chronic lung disease such as silicosis. Because this product is a liquid, under normal and recommended use, exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica will not apply.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.
Symptoms: Please see Section 11. Toxicological Information for further information.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.
Symptoms: Please see Section 11. Toxicological Information for further information.
Promptly wash eyes with lots of water while lifting eye lids. Remove contact lenses, if worn. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Symptoms: Please see Section 11. Toxicological Information for further information.
Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms: Please see Section 11. Toxicological Information for further information.
Immediate Medical Attention
If adverse symptoms develop, the casualty should be transferred to hospital as soon as possible.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding material.
None known.
None known.
Containers close to fire should be removed immediately or cooled with water.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. See also section 8. If spilled, take caution, as material can cause surfaces to become very slippery.
The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil. Avoid release to the environment.
Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.
Materials: earth, sand or other non-combustible material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Avoid spills and splashing during use. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause allergic reactions in very susceptible persons.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place
Use good work and personal hygiene practices to avoid exposure. When using do not smoke, eat or drink. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after handling the product Remove contaminated clothing
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is required.
Wear chemically resistant gloves (tested to EN 374) in combination with 'basic' employee training. Impervious gloves made of: PVC, Neoprene, Nitrile rubber. Break through time >480 minutes. Glove thickness 0.35 mm. Be aware that liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable.
Use eye protection according to EN 166, designed to protect against liquid splashes. Safety glasses with side-shields. Tightly fitting safety goggles.
No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment, Respirator with combination filter for vapour/particulate (EN 141), Type A/P2. At work in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, respiratory protection with air supply must be used.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. See section 6 for more information.
