Is O-xylene chemical hazardous?

Nov 06, 2025 Leave a message

CAS 95-47-6 o-Xylene (ortho-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C₆H₄(CH₃)₂, characterized by two methyl substituents bonded to adjacent carbon atoms of a benzene ring in the ortho configuration. It is a constitutional isomer of both m-xylene and p-xylene, with the mixture of these three isomers being commonly known as xylene or xylenes. Physically, o-xylene is a colourless, slightly oily, and highly flammable liquid. Its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, presenting a significant fire and explosion hazard.

From a health and safety perspective, o-xylene is harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It can cause eye and skin irritation, and exposure to its vapors may lead to adverse effects such as dizziness, headaches, and central nervous system depression.

  • Hand protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves. Skin protective films can also be used.
  • Other precautions: Smoking, eating, and drinking are prohibited at the work site. Shower and change clothes after work. Maintain good hygiene habits.
