available for employees and other users of this product.
Emergency overview : Within the present knowledge of the supplier, this product does not contain any
hazardous ingredients in quantities requiring reporting, in accordance with local
regulations.
Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air. Handling and/or processing of
this material may generate a dust which can cause mechanical irritation of the eyes,
skin, nose and throat. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Prevent dust
accumulation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid prolonged contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed and sealed
until ready for use.
Potential acute health effects
Inhalation : Exposure to airborne concentrations above statutory or recommended exposure limits
may cause irritation of the nose, throat and lungs.
Ingestion : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Skin : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Eyes : No significant irritation expected other than possible mechanical irritation.
Potential chronic health effects
Chronic effects : Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Over-exposure signs/symptoms
Inhalation : respiratory tract irritation, coughing
Ingestion : None known.
Skin : None known.
Eyes : irritation, redness

3. Composition/information on ingredients
Name CAS number %
No hazardous ingredient
5. Fire-fighting measures
Flammability of the product : Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air.
Extinguishing media
Suitable : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Not suitable : Do not use water jet.
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. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Hazardous thermal : Carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon monoxide.
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.
Ingredients: List name ppm mg/m³ Other ppm mg/m³ Other ppm mg/m³ Other Notations
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. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
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 : Approved/certified disposable particulate dust mask. Use a properly fitted, air-purifying
or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. 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.
Skin : Wear long sleeves and other protective clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact.
