Effects of Overexposure, Toluene:
Liquid and high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Inhalation
Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects: headache,
dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma,
respiratory failure and death.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with liquid tends to remove skin oils which
Skin Contact
may lead to irritation and dermatitis.
Toluene is practically nontoxic if absorbed (LD50 >2000 mg/kg); however, skin
Skin Absorbtion
absorption may add significantly to exposure.
Vapors are irritating to the eyes. Mists and liquid may cause moderate to severe
Eye Contact
irritation.
Toluene is moderately toxic if ingested and may cause vomiting. Small amounts
Ingestion
aspirated (breathed) into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause
pulmonary injury or death.
Prolonged, repeated, and excessive exposures may cause other effects -
Systemic Effects
chronic, adverse systemic effects including liver and kidney damage.
Noise interaction with toluene (mixed solvent) in the work environment may
cause signs of hearing loss.
Effects of Overexposure, Xylene (mixed):
Inhalation Inhalation of excessive concentrations of vapors or mists may cause irritation of
the nose and throat, and signs of central nervous system depression (dizziness,
drowsiness, fatigue and loss of coordination). Persons with impaired lung
function or
asthma-like conditions may experience additional breathing
difficulties due to the irritant properties of this material.
Skin Contact Skin contact - Xylene is moderately irritating to the skin. Prolonged or
repeated exposure will dry and defat the skin leading to redness, drying,
cracking and dermatitis. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more
susceptible to the
effects of this material.
Skin Absorbtion Xylene is practically nontoxic if absorbed (LD50 >2000 mg/kg); however, skin
absorption may add significantly to total exposure.
Ingestion Liquid is moderately toxic and may be harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation
of the digestive tract and signs of central nervous system depression
(dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and loss of coordination). If vomiting occurs,
breathing of vomitus into the lungs poses a pulmonary aspiration hazard.
Systemic Effects Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapor or mists may cause liver and kidney
damage. Preexisting liver and kidney disorders may be aggravated by exposure
to this material.

Effects of Overexposure, Xylene (mixed):
Effects of Overexposure, Toxic Raw Material:
Skin Contact Preexisting skin, eye, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this
product. Impaired kidney and liver functions from preexisting disorders may be aggravated
by exposure to this product.
Kidney damage may be evidenced by changes in urine output, urine appearance, or
edema (swelling from fluid retention). Liver damage may be evidenced by loss of appetite,
jaundice and sometimes pain in the upper abdomen on the right side.

Carcinogenicity: The following chemicals comprise 0.1% or more of this mixture and are listed and/or classified as
carcinogens or potential carcinogens by NTP, IARC, OSHA (mandatory listing), or ACGIH (optional listing).
- None
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
INHALATION - If product solids are inhaled either as dust or in the form of a spray mist, remove the person from exposure
immediately. If breathing is difficult, irregular, or has stopped, start resuscitation; call a physician. Administer oxygen if a
qualified operator is available.
EYE CONTACT - In case of eye contact, flush the eyes with water for fifteen (15) minutes. If contact lenses are worn,
quickly remove them, then flush the eyes with water. Have a physician examine the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT - In case of skin contact, remove contaminated clothing. Flush the skin with large amounts of water, then
wash the skin with soap and water.
INGESTION - If material is ingested, seek immediate medical attention. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep the head
below the hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs.
Notes to Physician: No data found
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: None
Autoignition: No data found
LEL: 1 %
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use carbon dioxide (CO2), "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or water spray/water fog extinguishing
systems.
UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS: The product vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance
to a source of ignition and flashback.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: See section 10 for a list of hazardous decomposition products for this mixture.
FIRE FIGHTING: If evacuation of personnel is necessary, evacuate to an upwind area. Decontaminate personnel and
equipment with a water wash-down after fire and smoke exposure.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Firemen and emergency responders: wear full turnout gear or Level A equipment, including
positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES: Spill supervisor - Ensure cleanup personnel wear all appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE), including respiratory protection. Remove all ignition sources. Keep nonessential personnel away from
the contaminated area.
SMALL SPILLS: Ventilate the contaminated area. Using nonsparking tools, mix the appropriate sorbent into the spilled
material. Use an absorbent like sawdust for aqueous, waterborne, and solvent-borne coatings.
Collect the saturated sorbent and transfer it into a covered container. Steel containers are acceptable for all wastes except
wastes which contain acid. Use suitable plastic containers for acid-bearing wastes.
Dispose of the waste in compliance with all Federal, state, regional, and local regulations.
LARGE SPILLS: Prevent this material from entering sewers and watercourses by diking or impounding the spilled material.
Advise authorities if the product has entered or may enter, sewers, watercourses, or extensive land areas.
Ventilate the contaminated area. Using nonsparking tools, mix the appropriate sorbent into the spilled material. Use an
absorbent like sawdust for aqueous, waterborne, and solvent-borne coatings.
Collect the saturated sorbent and transfer it into a covered container. Steel containers are acceptable for all wastes except
wastes which contain acid. Use suitable plastic containers for acid-bearing wastes.
Label the waste container. Dispose of the waste in compliance with all Federal, state, regional, and local regulations.

ENGINEERING: Ensure processing (curing) ovens are properly vented to prevent the introduction of processing fumes into
the workplace. Use explosion-proof equipment and good manufacturing practice.
VENTILATION: Use only with adequate ventilation, i.e., ventilation in compliance with occupational exposure limits.
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS: No data found.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Wear splash goggles. If extra protection is required, wear a face shield over the splash
goggles. Face shields are effective only if worn in addition to splash goggles.
Wear a chemical-resistant, butyl-rubber apron and other protective clothing, as deemed appropriate, to avoid skin contact
with material.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber or neoprene). Protective gloves should be inspected frequently and discarded
when they exhibit cuts, tears, pinholes, or signs of excessive wear.
Respiratory protection may not be needed if the local exhaust is sufficient to maintain levels of hazardous ingredients below
occupational exposure limits. If needed, use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator equipped with a full facepiece, acid-gas
cartridges, and high-efficiency, particulate air (HEPA) filters. Do not use respirators beyond their capabilities. FOR
EMERGENCIES AND UNKNOWN CONCENTRATIONS, use supplied-air respiratory protection or a positive-pressure,
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Dispose of the waste in compliance with all Federal, state, regional, and local regulations.
