Mineral Salts Mixture 1 - 2
Benzene 71-43-2 < 1
4. First-aid Measures
Inhalation: If inhaled remove affected person to fresh air, first ensuring your own
safety. If experiencing breathing difficulty administer oxygen. If not
breathing, administer CPR or artificial respiration. Seek medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is
conscious, administer water by mouth. Call a physician or poison
control center immediately.
Eye Contact: In the case of eye contact, rinse the eyes with plenty of running water
for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical assistance.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with plenty of running
water. Obtain medical assistance if irritation persists.
5. Fire-fighting Measurements
Flammable Properties: Fire is associated with flammable liquids and vapors at the surface of
produced water.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Flame can be extinguished with dry chemical, CO2 or foam.
Explosion Hazards:
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and
flash back. Vapors may ignite explosively. Liquid may float and ignite
on the surface of water.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Irritating gases of oxides of carbon including carbon dioxide and
carbon monoxide.
Special PPE & Precautions for Fire-fighters: Evacuate the area and fight the fire from a safe distance. Water may
be ineffective to extinguish the fire, but should be used to keep
surroundings and containers cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited,
use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect personnel
attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills
away from areas of potential ignition. Divert run-off water away from
sewers and waterways. Wear approved respiratory equipment and full protective equipment as indicated for fighting fire.

SAFETY DATA SHEET
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: All sparks, flames and sources of ignition must be restricted from the
area, ventilate if indoors by opening doors and windows. Evacuate
and clear a safe area.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
where warranted.
Review Section 5, Fire-fighting Measures, before proceeding with
containment and cleanup procedures.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid washing, draining, or directing material into sewers and
drainage.
Containment and Cleanup: Contain spills immediately in the smallest possible area. Recover as
much of the product as possible by such methods as vacuuming and
return liquid to an appropriate container. Soak up residual liquid by
using absorbent materials such as vermiculite, sand or clay and
placing in a container along with other contaminated material, soils or
debris for ultimate disposal.
7. Handling and Storage
Safe Handling: Prevent eye and skin contact; do not breathe the mist or vapors.
Wash hands after handling. Use in a well-ventilated area. Ground
and bond all lines, containers and equipment used to prevent static
sparks. Do not weld, cut, or grind on containers which have been
emptied; flammable vapors and residues may remain.
Safe Storage: Store in approved, labeled containers in a ventilated area; ensure
containers are tightly closed. Keep containers away from flame,
sparks and excessive temperatures. Keep away from incompatible
chemicals including strong oxidizers. Comply with all federal, state
and local regulatory requirements for handling, storage, transfer and
disposal of flammable liquids.

manufacturer for glove specifications. Where splashing is possible,
wear protective coveralls. Remove immediately if contaminated and
launder before re-use.
Respiratory Protection: Where necessary to maintain exposure levels below the
Occupational Exposure Limits in Section 8, select appropriate NIOSH
approved respiratory protection. Proper respirator selection should be
determined by adequately trained personnel, and based on the
