Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
personnel Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any
information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways,
drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused
environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop
up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent
treatment plant or proceed as follows. 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. Note: see Section 1 for
emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before
eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional
information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected
including any from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible
incompatibilities materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. 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. See Section 10
for incompatible materials before handling or use.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
None.
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
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.
Appropriate engineering : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
controls contaminants.
Individual protection measures
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.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Wear chemical safety goggles. When transferring material wear face-shield in
addition to chemical safety goggles.
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant gloves: Nitrile or Neoprene gloves.
Skin protection : Wear long sleeves to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Respiratory protection : 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.

ARBREAK™ 8280 DEMULSIFIER
Section 11. Toxicological information
This product results from a reaction involving ethylene oxide (EtO) (CAS No 75-21-8). It may, therefore contain
residual EtO (less than 0.1%) which can accumulate in the container headspace and be released to the ambient
environment when opened. This release of EtO would tend to increase when the product is agitated during unloading
or blending operations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the worker exposure level for EtO at 1 ppm
(8-hour time weighted average). The STEL is 5 ppm (15 minutes). This standard regulates occupational exposure to
EtO from sources including products containing residual EtO. It is the responsibility of the employer to comply with
OSHA EtO Standard (29 CFR 1910.1047). The OSHA action level TWA for EtO is 0.5 ppm. The OSHA excursion
level is 5 ppm as averaged over a sampling period of 15 minutes.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has identified EtO as a 'human carcinogen (Group 1);
human evidence is limited; animal evidence is sufficient'. EtO has been listed as 'known to be a human carcinogen' by
the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Eto has also been designated as a carcinogen and reproductive toxin under
the State of California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65). A no significant risk level of
2 mcg/day (an acceptable intake level is 20 mcg/day) was established under Proposition 65.
This product results from a reaction involving propylene oxide (PO)(CAS 75-56-9). It may, therefore, contain
residual amounts (<0.1%) of unreacted PO. The PO can accumulate in the container headspace, and can be released
to the ambient environment when opened. This release of PO would tend to increase when the product is agitated
during unloading or blending operations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the
worker exposure level for PO at 20 ppm TWA (8-hour Time Weighted Average). The International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) has rated PO as a 'Possible human carcinogen (Group 2B); human evidence is not
adequate; animal evidence is sufficient'. The National Toxicological Program (NTP) has rated PO as an 'Anticipated
Carcinogen'. PO is also identified as a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer under the Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65). A no significant risk level of 3 mcg/day (oral) and 60 mcg/
day (inhalation) was established under Proposition 65.

Toxicity
No applicable toxicity data
Persistence and degradability
Not available.
Other adverse effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Section 13. Disposal considerations
Disposal methods : Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products via a licensed waste disposal
contractor. Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only
be considered when recycling is not feasible. This material and its container must
be disposed of in a safe way. Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and
contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
