No data available for xylene as (CAS: 1330-20-7) / (CAS: 13463-67-7) / (CAS: 64742-47-8) / (CAS: 1305-78-8)
OSF=4 (XYLENE)
Exposed individuals are NOT reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the
Exposure Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class C, D or E.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:
OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppm
Classification into classes follows:
Class OSF Description
A 550 Over 90% of exposed
individuals are aware by
smell that the Exposure
Standard (TLV-TWA for
example) is being
reached, even when
distracted by working
activities
B 26-550 As "A" for 50-90% of
persons being distracted
C 1-26 As "A" for less than 50%
of persons being
distracted
D 0.18-1 10-50% of persons aware
of being tested perceive
by smell that the
Exposure Standard is
being reached
E <0.18 As "D" for less than 10%
of persons aware of being
tested
"Worst Case" computer-aided prediction of vapour components/concentrations:
Composite Exposure Standard for Mixture (TWA) (mg/m³): 460.2015 mg/m³
If the breathing zone concentration of ANY of the components listed below is
exceeded, "Worst Case" considerations deem the individual to be overexposed.
Component Breathing Zone ppm Breathing Zone mg/m³ Mixture Conc: (%)

distillates, petroleum, light, hyd 18.89 132.2418 5.0
Operations which produce a spray/mist or fume/dust, introduce particulates to
the breathing zone.
If the breathing zone concentration of ANY of the components listed below is
exceeded, "Worst Case" considerations deem the individual to be overexposed.
At the "Composite Exposure Standard for Mixture" (TWA) (mg/m³): 17.4 mg/m³

XYLENE:
TLV TWA: 100 ppm A4;BEI [ACGIH]
TLV STEL: 150 ppm A4;BEI [ACGIH]
PEL TWA: 100 ppm, 435 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
TLV TWA: 100 ppm, 434 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 651 mg/m³ A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
causing Cancer in humans
ES TWA: 80 ppm, 350 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 655 mg/m³ (Under review)
OES TWA: 100 ppm, 441 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 662 mg/m³ skin
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.
IDLH Level: 900 ppm
Odour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are
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.
TITANIUM DIOXIDE:
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m³ A4 [ACGIH]
PEL Total particulate: 15)mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m³ A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
causing Cancer in humans
ES TWA: 10 mg/m³
(total dust containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica)
OES TWA: 10 mg/m³ total inhalable dust
OES TWA: 4 mg/m³ respirable dust
IDLH Level: 5000 mg/m³
Animal studies at 10 mg/m³ show no significant fibrosis, possibly reversible
tissue reaction and the architecture of lung air spaces remains intact.
DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
CEL TWA: 300 ppm, 2100 mg/m³
for petroleum distillates:
CEL TWA: 500 ppm, 2000 mg/m³ (compare OSHA TWA).
oil mist, mineral
TLV TWA: 5 mg/m³; STEL: 10 mg/m³.
NOTICE OF INTENDED CHANGE.
TLV TWA 0.2 mg/m³ inhalable fraction highly refined A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4
NOT classifiable as causing cancer in humans.
ES TWA: 5 mg/m³ (oil mist, refined mineral)
Human exposure to oil mist alone has not been demonstrated to cause health
effects except at levels above 5 mg/m³ (this applies to particulates sampled by
a method that does not collect vapour). It is not advisable to apply this
standard to oils containing unknown concentrations and types of additive.
CALCIUM OXIDE:
TLV TWA: 2 mg/m³ [ACGIH]
PEL TWA: 5 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
TLV TWA: 2 mg/m³
ES TWA: 2 mg/m³
OES TWA: 2 mg/m³
MAK value: 5 mg/m³
- measured as the inhalable fraction of the aerosol.
MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice
the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
IDLH Level: 25 mg/m³
The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against undue irritation and is
analogous to that recommended for sodium hydroxide.
· Safety glasses with side shields · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC. Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber
· Overalls. · P.V.C. apron. · Barrier cream. · Skin cleansing cream. · Eye wash unit.
Glove selection is based on a modified presentation of the: "Forsberg Clothing Performance Index". The effect(s) of the following substance(s) are taken into account in the computer-generated selection: Substance ________________________________________ xylene PE/EVAL/PE A PVA A VITON A TEFLON A PVDC/PE/PVDC C NATURAL+NEOPRENE C NEOPRENE/NATURAL C NITRILE+PVC C HYPALON C NAT+NEOPR+NITRILE C BUTYL C BUTYL/NEOPRENE C NITRILE C NEOPRENE C PVC C * CPI - Chemwatch Performance Index A: Best Selection B: Satisfactory; may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion C: Poor to Dangerous Choice for other than short term immersion NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove, a final selection must be based on detailed observation. - * Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis, factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.
Respiratory protection may be required when ANY "Worst Case" vapour-phase
concentration is exceeded (see Computer Prediction in "Exposure Standards").

the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information
consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational
Health and Safety Advisor.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. Histologically
there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and
intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following. Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may
result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]. As with any
chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust
in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good
occupational work practice.
