This document provides information on the hazards and safe handling of a drilling fluid compound called Black Magic SFT. It is an asphalt/lubricant mixture that is a moderate health hazard and irritant. The product can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system upon overexposure. Proper protective equipment should be worn when handling, including gloves, goggles, and respirators. The compound is combustible and produces toxic smoke when burned, so proper fire safety and spill response procedures are outlined.

VI. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION:
Primary Exposure Route: Skin Contact: X Skin Absorption: Eye Contact: X Inhalation: X Ingestion:
Product Carcinogenicity - NTP: NO IARC: NO
Acute Effects of Overexposure:
PRODUCT IRRITATES EYES, SKIN, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM WITH
OVEREXPOSURE. INGESTION MAY CAUSE STOMACH UPSET. DUST INHALATION MAY CAUSE COUGH, SHORTNESS
OF BREATH AND CHEST TIGHTNESS. OVEREXPOSURE INCREASES SUSCEPTIBILITY TO SUNBURN.
Chronic Effects of Overexposure:
PRODUCT DUSTS MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SENSITIZATION OF SOME INDIVIDUALS, CHARACTERIZED EITHER BY
BREATHING DISTRESS OR TOPICAL SKIN IRRITATION SYMPTOMS.
VII. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS:
Eyes: HOLD EYELIDS APART AND FLUSH WITH CLEAN WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN
MINUTES. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
Skin: FLUSH SKIN THEN WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHES.
Ingestion: DRINK SEVERAL GLASSES OF WATER TO DILUTE AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
Inhalation: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROCEDURES:
Spill Response:
WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. SWEEP INTO A SUITABLE WASTE CONTAINER. DO NOT GET IN
SEWERS OR WATERWAYS. REBAG AND SELL IF POSSIBLE.
Waste Disposal Method:
DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
Handling:
CAUTION! PRODUCT IRRITATES EYES, SKIN, AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN
AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN HANDLING.
Storage:
STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA. KEEP DUST TO A MINIMUM. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. DO NOT REUSE
EMPTY CONTAINERS.
IX. OCCUPATIONAL CONTROL MEASURES:
Respiratory Protection: WEAR AN APPROVED PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR IF RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS
MAY BE EXCEEDED.
Ventilation: USE ADEQUATE MECHANICAL VENTILATION TO INSURE EXPOSURES BELOW
RECOMMENDED LIMITS.
Clothing: WEAR LONG PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WITH AN APRON OR COVERALLS FOR ADDED
PROTECTION.
Eyewear: WEAR CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND A FACESHIELD WHILE HANDLING.
Gloves: WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
Footwear: USE NORMAL SAFETY BOOTS.
