RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must
be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with
organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to
exceed exposure limits.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. Use impervious gloves to prevent skin contact and absorption
of this material through the skin. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information
regarding personal protective equipment and its application.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately and launder before reuse.

10. Stability and Reactivity
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid temperatures above 120°F (49°C). Avoid all possible sources of ignition.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong alkalies.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: By open flame, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. When heated to decomposition, it emits
acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Contains solvents which may form carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde.

11. Toxicological Information
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes Serious Eye Irritation
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: Substance may cause slight skin irritation. May cause skin irritation.
Allergic reactions are possible. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful
if inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and
lungs. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: May cause central nervous system disorder (e.g., narcosis involving a
loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue, mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or damage. High concentrations may lead to
central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis, and blurred vision) and/or damage. Reports
have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Overexposure to xylene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and blood
damage as well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans, due to chronic overexposure, have included liver, cardiac
abnormalities and nervous system damage. IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
