4. First Aid Measures
■ Eyes contact
◦ Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water (a saline solution) for at least 15 ~ 20 minutes and get
medical aid.
■ Skin contact
◦ Immediately Remove contaminated clothing and shoes . flush skin with plenty of water. Get medical
aid if irritation develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
■ Inhalation
◦ If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Continue Warm and comfortable state. Get medical aid.
■ Ingestion
◦ Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately.
◦ Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
◦ Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
■ Notes to Physician
◦ Treat symptomatically and supportively
5. Fire Fighting Measures
■ General Information
◦ As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may form
an explosive mixture with air. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and
flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. This liquid floats
on water and may travel to a source of ignition and spread fire. May accumulate static electricity.
■ Flash point : 27~32℃ (81~90℉)
■ Autoignition : 464~529℃ (867~984℉)
■ Flammable limit
◦ Lower : 1.0 V%
◦ Upper : 7.0 V%
[MSDS]
[Xylene]
■ Extinguishing Media
◦ CO2, dry chemical, water spray, appropriate foam. But, Water may be ineffective. This material is
lighter than water and insoluble in water.
■ Fire Fighting Measures And Media
◦ If there will not be a danger and it have to keep away a vessel (bombe) from the fire area.
Use unmanned hose carrier or the monitor nozzle inside the store area. If it is Impossible ,
evacuate from fire Area. If there are pressure safety valve explosion sound and tank color change ,
immediately evacuate from fire area. It have to quarantine above 800 meters from the all direction
where the tank and the tank truck are enveloped in fire. It will have to execute an extinguishment in
only the case which is the possibility of fire stopping. It will have to execute an extinguishment in the
mist type of enormous quantity of water (But, water can be ineffective). The fluid it will be able to
diffuse a fire
■ Combustion Hazard Material
◦ During a fire, it emits the carbon monoxide and the carbon dioxide and Irritant and corrodible
poisonous gas.
6 . Accidental Release Measures
■ A. Personal Protect
◦ Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
■ Spills
◦ Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container.
◦ Remove all sources of ignition.
◦ Provide ventilation.
◦ A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
◦ Water spray may reduce vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
◦ U.S. regulations require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable
quantities.
◦ This material creates a fire hazard because it floats on water. If possible, try to contain floating material.
7. Handling and Storage
■ Handling
◦ Wash thoroughly after handling.
◦ Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
◦ Ground and bond containers when transferring material.
◦ Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
◦ Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
◦ Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks
or open flames.
◦ Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing vapor
or mist.
[MSDS]
[Xylene]
■ Storage

◦ Keep container closed when not in use.
◦ Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
◦ Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
◦ Keep away from strong acids.
8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
■ Engineering Controls
◦ Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eye wash facility and a safety
shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
the permissible exposure limits.
■ Eyes
