ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects following
ingestion (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at
least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept
to a minimum.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
The liquid may be miscible with fats or oils and may degrease the skin,
producing a skin reaction described as non-allergic contact dermatitis. The
material is unlikely to produce an irritant dermatitis as described in EC
Directives .
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
INHALED
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the
course of normal handling, may be harmful.
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by
EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of vapours, fumes or
aerosols, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort
and occasionally, distress.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Xylene is a central nervous system depressant. Central nervous system (CNS)
depression may include nonspecific discomfort, symptoms of giddiness, headache,
dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and
may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in respiratory

ChemWatch MSDS MSDS for HOUSE OF KOLOR NEUTRAL MARBILIZER BASE MB-00
depression and may be fatal.
Headache, fatigue, lassitude, irritability and gastrointestinal disturbances
(e.g., nausea, anorexia and flatulence) are the most common symptoms of xylene
overexposure. Injury to the heart, liver, kidneys and nervous system has also
been noted amongst workers. Transient memory loss, renal impairment, temporary
confusion and some evidence of disturbance of liver function was reported in
three workers overcome by gross exposure to xylene (10000 ppm). One worker died
and autopsy revealed pulmonary congestion, oedema and focal alveolar
haemorrhage. Volunteers inhaling xylene at 100 ppm for 5 to 6 hours showed
changes in manual coordination reaction time and slight ataxia. Tolerance
developed during the workweek but was lost over the weekend. Physical exercise
may antagonise this effect. Xylene body burden in humans exposed to 100 or 200
ppm xylene in air depends on the amount of body fat with 4% to 8% of total
absorbed xylene accumulating in adipose tissue.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in the
developing embryo (teratogenesis).
Repeated or prolonged exposure to mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis with
dizziness, weakness, irritability, concentration and/or memory loss, tremor in
the fingers and tongue, vertigo, olfactory disorders, constriction of visual
field, paraesthesias of the extremities, weight loss and anaemia and
degenerative changes in the liver and kidney. Chronic exposure by petroleum
workers, to the lighter hydrocarbons, has been associated with visual
disturbances, damage to the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathies
(including numbness and paraesthesias), psychological and neurophysiological
deficits, bone marrow toxicities (including hypoplasia possibly due to benzene)
and hepatic and renal involvement. Chronic dermal exposure to petroleum
hydrocarbons may result in defatting which produces localised dermatoses.
Surface cracking and erosion may also increase susceptibility to infection by
microorganisms. One epidemiological study of petroleum refinery workers has
reported elevations in standard mortality ratios for skin cancer along with a
dose-response relationship indicating an association between routine workplace
exposure to petroleum or one of its constituents and skin cancer, particularly
melanoma. Other studies have been unable to confirm this finding.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment
and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
?Immediately give a glass of water.
?First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons
Information Centre or a doctor.

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.
?If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
?Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
?Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
?Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
?Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
?If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
?Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
?Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
?Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
?Transport to hospital, or doctor.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related
hydrocarbons:
?Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or
inhalation, is respiratory failure.
?Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g.
cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm
Hg) should be intubated.
?Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and
electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;
intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously
symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that
hyperventilation improves clearance.
?A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
?Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm
because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled

cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred
agents, with aminophylline a second choice.
?Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of
cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical

These "dusts" have little adverse effect on the lungs and do not produce toxic
effects or organic disease. Although there is no dust which does not evoke some
cellular response at sufficiently high concentrations, the cellular response
caused by P.N.O.C.s has the following characteristics:
?the architecture of the air spaces remain intact,
?scar tissue (collagen) is not synthesised to any degree,
?tissue reaction is potentially reversible.
Extensive concentrations of P.N.O.C.s may:
?seriously reduce visibility,
?cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nasal passages,
?contribute to skin or mucous membrane injury by chemical or mechanical action,
per se, or by the rigorous skin cleansing procedures necessary for their
removal. [ACGIH]
This limit does not apply:
?to brief exposures to higher concentrations
?nor does it apply to those substances that may cause physiological impairment
at lower concentrations but for which a TLV has as yet to be determined.
This exposure standard applies to particles which
?are insoluble or poorly soluble* in water or, preferably, in aqueous lung
fluid (if data is available) and
?have a low toxicity (i.e.. are not cytotoxic, genotoxic, or otherwise
chemically reactive with lung tissue, and do not emit ionizing radiation, cause
immune sensitization, or cause toxic effects other than by inflammation or by a
mechanism of lung overload)

available commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same
response)
Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and
causes narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high
to produce intoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liver
and kidney toxicity. Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongst
volunteers inhaling up to 400 ppm though complaints of ocular and upper
respiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5 minutes.
Exposure to xylene at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought
to minimise the risk of irritant effects and to produce neither significant
narcosis or chronic injury. An earlier skin notation was deleted because
percutaneous absorption is gradual and protracted and does not
substantially contribute to the dose received by inhalation.

Odour Threshold Value: 0.0063 ppm (detection), 0.038-12 ppm (recognition)
IDLH Level: 1700 ppm (lower explosive limit)
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to prevent
significant irritation of the eyes and respiratory passages as well as
narcotic effects. In light of the lack of substantive evidence regarding
teratogenicity and a review of acute oral data a STEL is considered
inappropriate.

Exposures at or below the recommended TLV-TWA are thought to prevent
injurious systemic effects and to minimise objections to odour and
irritation. Where synergism or potentiation may occur stringent control of
the primary toxin (e.g. n-hexane or methyl butyl ketone) is desirable and
additional consideration should be given to lowering MEK exposures.

Ethyl benzene produces irritation of the skin and mucous membranes and
appears to produce acute and chronic effects on the central nervous
system. Animal experiments also suggest the effects of chronic exposure
include damage to the liver, kidneys and testes. In spite of structural
similarities to benzene, the material does not appear to cause damage to

the haemopoietic system. The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against
skin and eye irritation. Exposure at this concentration probably will not
result in systemic effects.
Subjects exposed at 200 ppm experienced transient irritation of the eyes;
at 1000 ppm there was eye irritation with profuse lachrymation; at 200 ppm
eye irritation and lachrymation were immediate and severe accompanied by
moderate nasal irritation, constriction in the chest and vertigo;
at 5000 ppm exposure produced intolerable irritation of the eyes and

inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for

overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
High concentrations of toluene in the air produce depression of the
central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Intentional toluene exposure
(glue-sniffing) at maternally-intoxicating concentration has also produced
birth defects. Foetotoxicity appears at levels associated with CNS
narcosis and probably occurs only in those with chronic toluene-induced
kidney failure. Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought
to prevent transient headache and irritation, to provide a measure of
safety for possible disturbances to human reproduction, the prevention of
reductions in cognitive responses reported amongst humans inhaling
greater than 40 ppm, and the significant risks of hepatotoxic, behavioural
and nervous system effects (including impaired reaction time and
incoordination). Although toluene/ethanol interactions are well
recognised, the degree of protection afforded by the TLV-TWA among
drinkers is not known.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a
process enclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation equipment
should be explosion-resistant.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.
