Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
?If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open
airway and
prevent aspiration.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
?If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid
possible
aspiration of vomitus.
EYE
?If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
?Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
?Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by
occasionally lifting
the upper and lower lids.
SKIN
?If skin contact occurs:
?Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
?Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
INHALED
?If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
?Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
?Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced
mechanically or
pharmacologically.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:
?Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions exceeding 1-2 ml (xylene)/kg,
intubation and lavage
with cuffed endotracheal tube is recommended. The use of charcoal and cathartics is equivocal.
?Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
?Foam.
?Dry chemical powder.
FIRE FIGHTING
?Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
?May be violently or explosively reactive.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by 500 metres in all directions.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
?Liquid and vapour are flammable.
?Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of burning
organic
material.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
?Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as
ignition may
result.
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MINOR SPILLS
?Remove all ignition sources.
?Clean up all spills immediately.
MAJOR SPILLS
?Clear area of personnel and move upwind.
?Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
?Containers, even those that have been emptied, may contain explosive vapours.
?Do NOT cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.
?DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin.
?Electrostatic discharge may be generated during pumping - this may result in fire.
?Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment.
?Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
?Wear protective clothing when risk of overexposure occurs.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
?Packing as supplied by manufacturer.
?Plastic containers may only be used if approved for flammable liquid.
?For low viscosity materials (i) : Drums and jerry cans must be of the non-removable head type. (ii) : Where a can
is to be used
as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.
?For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C).
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
?Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
?Store in original containers in approved flammable liquid storage area.
?Store away from incompatible materials in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

EYE
?Safety glasses with side shields.
?Chemical goggles.
HANDS/FEET
?Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
?HARMFUL- May cause lung damage if swallowed. ?Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness
and cracking.
?Vapours may cause dizziness or suffocation. ?May be harmful to the foetus/ embryo*.
?Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. ?Cumulative effects may result following
exposure*.
?Inhalation, skin contact and/oringestion may ?* (limited evidence).
produce health damage*.
?May produce discomfort of the eyes, respiratory
tract and skin*.
?* (limited evidence).
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
?Lifetime exposure of rodents to gasoline produces carcinogenicity although the relevance to humans has been
questioned. Gasoline induces kidney cancer in
male rats as a consequence of accumulation of the alpha2-microglobulin protein in hyaline droplets in the male (but
not female) rat kidney.
No data of toxicological significance identified in literature search.
