Carcinogenicity In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded
that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis.
"There is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in
persons with silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in
quarries and in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce
the cancer risk..." (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003) According to the current state of the art,
worker protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing
regulatory occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable
crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled. No carcinogenicity data available for this
product. Sepiolite was evaluated by IARC as class 3 ("Cannot be classified as to carcinogenicity
to humans"). Based on read-across with sepiolite, bentonite was assessed as non-carcinogenic.
Therefore classification of bentonite for carcinogenicity is not warranted.

Principle Route of Exposure: Eye or skin contact, inhalation.
Symptoms Related to the Physical, Chemical and Toxicological Characteristics
Inhalation: Inhaled crystalline silica in the form or quartz from occupational sources is
carcinogenic to humans (IARC, Group 1).
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation due to drying.
Eye Contact: May cause mechanical eye irritation.
Ingestion: None known
Aggravated Medical Conditions: Individuals with respiratory disease, including but not limited to asthma and
bronchitis, or subject to eye irritation, should not be exposed to respirable
quartz-bearing dust.
Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity: Silicosis: Excessive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause a
progressive, disabling, and sometimes-fatal lung disease called silicosis.
Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest
illness, and reduced pulmonary function. This disease is exacerbated by
smoking. Individuals with silicosis are predisposed to develop tuberculosis.
Cancer Status: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, 1997)
concludes that there is sufficient evidence in humans for carcinogenicity of
inhaled crystalline silica from occupational sources (IARC Group 1), that
carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstances studied and
that carcinogenicity may depend on characteristics of the crystalline silica or
on external factors affecting its biological activity. See IARC Monograph 68,
Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibres (June 1997). The National Toxicology
Program (NTP) classifies respirable crystalline silica as “Known to be a human
carcinogen” (NTP 9th Report on Carcinogens, 2000). The American Conference
of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica,
quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (A2).

DESCRIPTION
AMC EZEE PAC R is a new generation highly dispersive high
quality polyanionic cellulose polymer used for viscosity and
water loss control in most water based drilling fluid systems.
AMC EZEE PAC R will not fisheye and has been designed to
disperse rapidly into any make up water even under the poorest
conditions. The mixing efficiencies of AMC EZEE PAC R reduces
wastage and promotes lower mud costs and total hole costs.

AMC EZEE PAC R forms a protective colloid which inhibits
the hydration of water sensitive formations; it has applications
in most drilling mediums and has the ability to improve core
recovery in diamond drilling, can be added to enhance a
bentonite base system and is compatible with most polymers
and lubricants. Addition rates can be adjusted to suit specific
applications, hardness must not exceed 400 mg/L of calcium.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
Application kg per
1000 L
To reduce torque and improve core recovery 1.0 - 3.0
To provide encapsulation and stabilise clays and
shales 2.0 - 5.0
To improve filter cake 1.5 - 2.5
To improve the properties of a bentonite base
drilling fluid 0.5 - 2.5
AMC EZEE PAC R can be slowly introduced into mechanical
agitation, through water discharge or through a mud hopper.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE (SAPP), TECHNICAL GRADE, POWDER

Key Properties:
• Sequestration – The phenomenon of binding metal ions in soluble complexes, thereby preventing the formation of
undesirable precipitates or the occurrence of other detrimental side reactions. SAPP will combine with metal ions
to form soluble but undissociated complexes, which remain in solution in the presence of precipitating anions.
• Buffering – The ability of inorganic phosphates to provide the desired pH level and maintain the proper alkalinity in
solution. Although SAPP is too acidic to show any free alkalinity, it is equal to tetrasodium pyrophosphate in
buffering capacity.
• Deflocculation – the process by which aggregates of particles are broken up into individual particles that are then
dispersed throughout the solution such as the dispersion of clay mixtures in paper coating, drilling muds in oil well
operations, slurries in cement manufacturing, etc..
• Shelf-life ≅ 24 months

Applications:
• Acid Metal Cleaners: Acid metal cleaners are generally used in the removal of mill scale, rust and other
metallic oxides or to remove traces of alkaline residues. SAPP is effective in dry cleaner formulations
where mild “controlled” acidity is advantageous and cleaning requirements are less demanding.
• Iron Phosphatizing: SAPP is commonly used in cleaner/phosphatizing formulations to reduce the
formation of sludge. Control of sludge effectively extends the life of a phosphatizing bath.
• Drilling Muds: In oil well operations, SAPP is used to treat water-based drilling muds to produce high
density fluids with specific flow properties.
• Dairy Cleaners: Dry formulated products containing SAPP provide mildly acidic solutions, which are
useful in dairy operations to remove “milkstone.”
• Pigment Dispersant: Condensed phosphate deflocculants are used in water-base paints to aid in the
wetting and even dispersion of pigments in formulating the final product.
• Potable Water Treatment: ICL Performance Products LP sodium acid pyrophosphate conforms to the
requirements of ANSI/NSF Standard 60. Used for corrosion & scale control and sequestering.
Maximum Use Level= 12mg/L.

MATERIAL DATA
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering
controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions
to provide this high level of protection.
Personal protection
Eye and face protection Safety glasses with side shields.
Chemical goggles.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Hands/feet protection
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary
from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the
glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry
solids, where abrasive particles are not present.
polychloroprene.
Body protection See Other protection below

Thermal hazards Not Available
Respiratory protection
Particulate. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)
Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement
data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or
distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be
government mandated or vendor recommended.
Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete
respiratory protection program.
Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
Try to avoid creating dust conditions.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on toxicological effects
Inhaled
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified by EC
Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and
that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis,
may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper
screenings should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material
result
in excessive exposures.
Ingestion
High molecular weight material; on single acute exposure would be expected to pass through gastrointestinal tract with little
change / absorption. Occasionally accumulation of the solid material within the alimentary tract may result in formation of
a bezoar (concretion), producing discomfort.
Skin Contact
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC
Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and
that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce systemic
injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is
suitably protected.
Eye
Limited evidence or practical experience suggests, that the material may cause moderate eye irritation in a substantial
number of individuals and/or may produce significant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after
instillation into the eye(s) of experimental animals. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause moderate inflammation
(similar to windburn) characterised by a temporary redness of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis); temporary impairment of
vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.

Legend: – Data available but does not fill the criteria for classification
– Data available to make classification
– Data Not Available to make classification
The dust may produce eye discomfort and abrasive eye inflammation.
Chronic
On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed by at least one classification body that the
material may produce carcinogenic or mutagenic effects; in respect of the available information, however, there presently
exists inadequate data for making a satisfactory assessment.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function (i.e. pneumoconiosis) caused by
particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. A prime symptom is breathlessness.
Although polymers with a molecular weight above 10000 are normally considered to be PLCs (polymers of low concern)
(because these are not expected to be absorbed by biological systems), this rule does NOT apply to water-absorbing
polymers.
A two year oncogenicity study with high molecular weight polyacrylate (1 million), with no reactive functional groups,
showed a statistically significant induction of lung tumours in rats exposed at 0.8 mg/m3 respirable particles.

Carcinogenicity In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded
that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis.
"There is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in
persons with silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in
quarries and in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce
the cancer risk..." (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003) According to the current state of the art,
worker protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing
regulatory occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable
crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled. No carcinogenicity data available for this
product. Sepiolite was evaluated by IARC as class 3 ("Cannot be classified as to carcinogenicity
to humans"). Based on read-across with sepiolite, bentonite was assessed as non-carcinogenic.
Therefore classification of bentonite for carcinogenicity is not warranted.

A Schlumberger Company LABORATORY REPORT
AQUATIC TOXICITY EVALUATION
2% (v/v) EHD-2193 (Platinum Rod Ease) in Generic Mud # 7
The 96 -hour acute, aquatic toxicity of the laboratory prepared drilling fluid sample (ES -6080) is
described in this report. Environmental Affairs of M-1 SWACO began an investigation to establish
the level of toxicity of the drilling fluid sample on 12/3/2009. The sample was submitted by G.
Matula. The results are presented below.
Bioassay Results
i
A 96 -hour range finder bioassay using the standard EPA protocol was conducted on a suspended
particulate phase (SPP) of the sample using Mysidopsis bahia. The SPP is the unfiltered
supernatant extracted from a 1:9 mixture of the drilling fluid and seawater that was allowed to
settle for one hour. A 96 -hour LC50 of >500,000 ppm SPP was determined for the drilling fluid. A
95% confidence interval of N.A. to N.A. ppm SPP was obtained for the drilling fluid sample. The
LC50 is the median lethal concentration or the quantity of a toxic substance in the surrounding
water that produces 50% mortality in the test species. The greater the 96 -hour LC50 value, the
lower the toxicity of the drilling fluid sample being tested. The negative control (20 mysids in
straight seawater) showed 100% survivability.
Conclusions
The results of this bioassay indicate that the 96 -hour LC50 for this laboratory prepared sample
(>500,000 ppm SPP) is greater (i.e. less toxic) than the 30,000 qpm SPP toxicity limitation set by
the Gulf of Mexico NPDES permit.
