Administrative data
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: avoid vapor inhalation. in case of inhalation, bring victim
into clean air. Effects unknown. if symptoms persist or re-
occur, contact local occupational physician and mention the
possibel presence of xylene
Emergency measure - Eyes: Avoid substance getting into eyes. flush with large amounts
of water. treat symptomatically.
Emergency measure - Skin: Avoid skin contact. Flush with large amounts of water. treat
symptomatically. If symptoms persist or re-occur, contact
the local occupational physician and mention the suspected
potential for skin sensitization
Emergency measure - Ingestion: avoid ingestion. Effects unknown. In case of ingestion,
contact the local occupational physician
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Extinguishing media: waterspray, foam, sand, dry chemical
powder, CO2.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
none known.
Other information
Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Treat as an oil fire.
Cool closed containers with water. Water used to extinguish
a fire should not be allowed to enter the drainage system or
water courses. After a fire, ventilate thoroughly the area
and soak with water, clean the walls and metallic surfaces.
Product arising from burning: Hazardous decomposition/
combustion products
Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide. No additional information
available.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Protective equipment
Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment.
Wear approved respirator and protective gloves.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Avoid skin contact and vapor inhalation. dam with adsorbent
material
Preparation:
Personal precautions
Do not breathe fumes/vapour. Avoid contact with skin. For
personal protection see Section 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.
Methods for cleaning up
Stop leakage if possible. Eliminate all sources of ignition,
and do not generate flames or sparks. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. Collect as much as
possible in a clean container for (preferable) reuse or
disposal. Cover the remainder with inert absorbent (e.g.
vermiculite) for disposal. Flush surroundings with large
amounts of water and soap.
Other information
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
Vapours may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Evacuate personnel to safe area.
Handling and storage
Handling: Handling
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Do not pipet by
mouth. Do not breathe fumes/vapour. Handle in well
ventilated areas. Eliminate all sources of ignition, and do
not generate flames or sparks. Take precautionary measures
against static discharges. Apply earthing when transferring
from one container to another. Avoid contact with skin.
Avoid Incompatible materials
Other information
Wash hands thoroughly after handling or contact. Keep
working clothing separately and do not take them home.
Storage: Storage requirements
Store in accordance with local/national regulations. Keep
away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Keep
container upright to prevent leakage.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: proprietary glass bottles in plastic cages

Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
