Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PROLONGED/REPEATED CONTACT WITH THE
EYE CAN CAUSE MODERATE IRRIT,DEFATTING & DERMATITIS,CONJUNCTIVITIS
& DRYNESS OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES.INHALATION OF VAPORS MAY CAUSE
CNS EXCITATION,THEN DEPRESSION,C HARACTERIZED BY
PARATHESIA,TREMORS,APPREHENSION,IMPAIRED MEMORY,WEAKNESS,NERVOUS
IRRIT,ANOREXIA/ANEMIA & NEUROPATHY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM IS
CURRENTLY TESTING XYLENE FOR CARCINOGENESIS.
Effects of Overexposure:CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE IRRITATION, REDNESS,
TEARING AND BLURRED VISION. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF VAPORS CAN
CAUSE NASAL AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS,
FATIGUE, NAUSEA, HEADACHE, POSSIBL E UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN
ASPHYXIATION.

Other Precautions:WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID. KEEP AWAY FROM OPEN HEAT
AND OPEN FLAMES.

Respiratory Protection:IF WORKPLACE VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED TLV'S
USE A NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED VAPOR RESPIRATOR TO PREVENT
OVEREXPOSURE.IN ACCORDANCE WITH CFR 1910.134 USE EITHER AN
ATMOSPHERE-SUPPLYING RESPIRATOR OR AN AI R-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR FOR
ORGANIC VAPOR
Ventilation:EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN VAPORS BELOW TLV'S.
Protective Gloves:BUTYL RUBBER OR PVA.
Eye Protection:CHEM GOGGLES.DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENS.
