VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
SKIN CONTACT
May cause delayed skin irritation and blistering. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause defatting and dermatitis.
SKIN ADSORPTION
Extensive, prolonged or repeated contact may result in significant absorption.
EYE CONTACT
Liquid and vapours may be irritating to the eyes. This product may cause irritation, redness and pain. Not known to cause
permanent injury to eye tissue. Discomfort and blurring of vision may occur.
INHALATION
May be irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. High vapour concentrations can displace oxygen and cause
central nervous system depression, visual disturbances, nausea, vomiting, systematic poisoning and death. Saturated
vapours can be encountered in confined spaces and/or under conditions of poor ventilation.
INGESTION
May be harmful if liquid is aspirated into the lungs or swallowed. May cause irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth
and throat, abdominal pain, central nervous system depression, visual disturbances, nausea and vomiting.
CHRONIC OVER EXPOSURE EFFECTS
May cause depression, dizziness, numbness, tremors, impaired memory, headaches and nausea.
EXPOSURE LIMITS
Benzene: ACGIH TLV = 10 ppm (TWA)
Ethylbenzene: ACGIH TLV = 100 ppm (TWA), 125 ppm (STEL); OSHA PEL = 100 ppm (TWA), 125 ppm (STEL)
Toluene: ACGIH TLV = 50 ppm (TWA skin); OSHA PEL = 100 ppm (TWA), 150 ppm (STEL)
Trimethylbenzene: ACGIH TLV = 25 ppm; NIOSH REL = 25 ppm (TWA)
Xylene: ACGIH TLV = 150 ppm (STEL); OSHA PEL = 100 ppm (TWA), 150 ppm (STEL)
Check with your local regulatory agency for the limit in effect in your area.
IRRITANCY
Liquid and vapour may cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, throat and respiratory system.
SENSITIZATION TO MATERIAL
No information is available.
CARCINOGENICITY, TERATONGENICITY, EMBRYOTOXICITY, REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY and MUTAGENICITY
Benzene is listed as a Group 1carcinogen by IARC. Ethylbenzene is listed as a Group 2B possible carcinogen by IARC.
TOXICOLOGICALLY SYNERGISTIC PRODUCTS
No information is available.
VII PREVENTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapour cartridge for up to 200 ppm. For emergency or planned entry into
unknown concentrations, use a self-contained breathing apparatus.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles or a facemask.
SKIN PROTECTION: Gloves, coveralls, boots, etc. as needed to prevent skin exposure.
SPECIFIC ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General ventilation is normally adequate for small-scale use at room temperature or below. Local exhaust ventilation is
normally needed with large-scale use or at elevated temperatures.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURES
Provide adequate ventilation, protective clothing and respirators. Remove sources of heat and flame. Absorb liquid on
dry clay, sand, sawdust or other absorbent material.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Combustible wastes may be burned in an approved incineration facility. Consult local environmental authorities before
disposal.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Use minimal quantities in designated areas with adequate ventilation and away from sources of heat or sparks.
Containers should be covered when not in use.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Store in a tightly closed container in a cool area away from immediate work areas and incompatible materials. No
sources of heat, flame or sparks should be present in the storage area.

EMPTY CONTAINERS
The container for this product can present an explosion or fire hazard even when empty. DO NOT cut, puncture or weld
on or near the container. Since emptied containers retain product residue, follow label warnings even after the container
has been emptied.
VIII FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN CONTACT
Flush contaminated area with warm water for at least 15 minutes. Under running water, remove contaminated clothing,
shoes and leather goods. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention.
EYE CONTACT
Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with warm water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, obtain medical
attention.
INHALATION
Remove source of contamination or remove victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped begin artificial respiration
IMMEDIATELY. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION
Never give anything by mouth if victim is unconscious or convulsing. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. Vomiting should only be induced under the direction of a physician or a poison control centre. Have
victim drink 300 mL of water to dilute material. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
GENERAL
Provide general supportive measures (comfort, warmth, rest). Consult a doctor for all exposures except minor instances
of inhalation or contact.
