1 Material Safety Data Sheet NFPA HMIS PPE Symbol(s) Preparation Date 7/7/2010 Revision Number: 1 1. PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Product Description: NDFX 242 Item#: ND0242 Recommended Use Viscosifier, Shale Inhibition, Filtration Control, Drilling Process Contact Manufacturer Newpark Drilling Fluids, LLC : Park Ten Place, Suite 150 Houston, TX Emergency Telephone Number 24-Hour Health/Environmental Emergency Phone: , HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Spills may produce extremely slippery surfaces Appearance Viscous, Milky, White, Liquid Physical State Liquid. Odor Aliphatic. Potential Health Effects Principle Routes of Exposure Acute Effects Eyes Skin Inhalation Ingestion Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion May cause redness and irritation of the eye. May be irritating to skin. Repeated or prolonged contact can cause defatting of skin and/ or dermatitis. May cause irritation of respiratory tract. Inhalation may cause headaches, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms of central nervous depression. May cause nausea and vomiting. Chronic Effects Prolonged or repeated contact tends to remove skin oils possibly leading to irritation and dermatitis. See Section 11 for additional Toxicological information. Page 1 / 7

2 Aggravated Medical Conditions Potential Environmental Effects Target Organ Effects See Section 12 for additional Ecological information. Skin. Respiratory system 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Chemical characterization Anionic water-soluble polymer 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact Skin Contact Inhalation Ingestion tes to Physician Immediately flush with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. If skin irritation persists, seek medical attention. Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If symptoms persist, call a physician. first aid should be required if small amount is ingested. If large amoung is ingested, or symptoms occur, obtain medical attention.. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties Does not flash.. Suitable Extinguishing Media Water spray. Water. Foam. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Explosion Limits Hazardous Combustion Products Impact sensitivity Sensitivity to static discharge Carbon oxides Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Aqueous solutions or powders that become wet render surfaces extremely slippery. Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
