| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames. | Water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, powder. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 96°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 96°C use a closed system, ventilation. | |
| EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE! | ||
| Inhalation | Dizziness. Drowsiness. Headache. Nausea. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! (See Ingestion) | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Safety spectacles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). | |
| Ingestion | Blue lips or fingernails. Blue skin. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Headache. Nausea. Unconsciousness. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Chemical protection suit. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. | EU classification T Symbol N Symbol R: 23/24/25-33-51/53 S: (1/2-)28-36/37-45-61 Note: C UN classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Pack Group: II GHS classification Signal: Warning Excl mark-Health haz-Enviro Harmful if swallowed May cause drowsiness or dizziness May cause damage to blood May cause damage to blood through prolonged or repeated exposure Very toxic to aquatic life |

Separated from strong oxidants, acids, acid anhydrides, acid chlorides, hypochlorites, halogens, food and feedstuffs. Well closed. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance CLEAR, PALE YELLOW LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. TURNS REDDISH TO BROWN ON EXPOSURE TO AIR. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 222°C Melting point: 2°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.99 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 15 Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: 13 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.19 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00 Flash point: 96°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 545°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1-2.7 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.17 |
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. It is strongly advised that this substance does not enter the environment. |
| NOTES | Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. TLV only established for mixed isomers, see ICSC 0600. See also ICSC 0600 (Xylidine, mixed isomers), 1519 (2,6-Xylidine), 1562 (2,4-Xylidine), 0453 (3,4-Xylidine), 1686 (2,5-Xylidine), 1687 (3,5-Xylidine). |
