The use of benzene is prohibited in dry-cleaning, degreasing and polishing operations, in the preparation of impermeable fabrics, in the manufacturing and reparation of shoes, in painting, decorating, varnishing, and paint stripping jobs and as a diluent in inks. The use of solvents containing toluene or xylene is tolerated in the same operations as long as the concentration of these substances does not exceed 5%-45%, depending on the nature of the operation. As impurity, benzene may be tolerated up to 2% by weight in solvents used in operations enumerated above. Appropriate labelling is necessary when these substances are present in industrial solvents.
