*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NON REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. IF HIGH
    VAPOR OR MIST CONCENTRATIONS EXPECTED, USE NIOSH-APPROVED
    RESPIRATOR FOR ORGANIC VAPORS AND MISTS. WEAR SUPPLIED-AIR
    RESPIRATOR PROTECTION IN CONFINED OR  ENCLOSED SPACES, IF NEEDED.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST, EXPLOSION-PROOF)
    VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, SAFETY SHOWER, WORK
    CLOTHING AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
    RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. DO NOT GET IN EYES.

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NOOSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:BLOOD, LIVER, KIDNEY.
    ACUTE- MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY & GI TRACTS IRRITATION, AND
    CNS AFFECTS.  HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. ASPIRATION HAZARD, MAY
    CAUSE HEMORRAGIC PNEUMONITIS  WITH SEVERE PULMONARY INJURY. MAY BE
    HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CHRONIC- MAY CAUSE ADVERSE
    KIDNEY, LIVER  AND BLOOD EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:XYLENE: LISTED AS A4 BY IARC; ETHYL
    BENZENE: NO NOTATION ASSIGNED.
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE EYE IRRITATION, BLURRED VISION, TEARING,
    REDDNESS, SKIN, RESPIRATORY AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS IRRITATION;
    DRYING, DEFATTING OF SKIN AND DERMATITIS; NAUSEA, VOMITING,
    DIARRHEA, DIZZINESS, HEA DACHE, DROWSINESS, WEAKNESS, FATIGUE,
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS, DEATH
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A PRE-EXISTING
    DISORDERS OFTHE EYES, SKIN, LIVER, KIDNEY, BLOOD OR RESPIRATORY
    TRACT MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:CALL PHYSICIAN IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH
    MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. SKIN:WASH WITH SOAP & WATER.
    INGESTION:DO NOT IN DUCE VOMITING. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD
    BELOW HIPS TO PREVENT ASPIRATION INTO LUNGS. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point Method:CC
Lower Limits:1.0%
Upper Limits:7.0%
Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, REGULAR FOAM.
    TREAT LIKE A GASOLINE FIRE. COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH
    WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
    NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
    FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR MAY TRAVEL TO
    IGNITION SOURCE & "FLASH BACK". VAPOR MAY EXPLODE IF IGNITED IN AN
    ENCLOSED AREA. CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE DUE TO FIRE.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ELIMINATE SOURCES
    OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. CONTAIN SPILL. PICK UP SPILL WITH
    NON-FLAMMABLE ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAND, EARTH/USE PUMP (EXPLOSION
    PROOF). GROUND ALL HANDLING  EQUIPMENTS. PREVENT LIQUID FROM
    ENTERING SEWERS AND WATERWAYS.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
    AREA, AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION & INCOMPATIBLES. OUTSIDE AND
    DETACHED STORAGE IS PREFERRD. BOND & GROUND CONTAINERS WHEN
    TRANSFERRING LIQUID.
Other Precautions:"EMPTY" CONTAINERS RETAIN RESIDUE AND CAN BE
    DANGEROUS. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL OR
    EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS. THEY MAY EXPLODE AND
    CAUSE INJURY/DEATH. AV OID REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT.
