What are the safety precautions for handling o-Xylene?

Nov 06, 2025 Leave a message

o-Xylene (ortho-xylene) CAS 95-47-6 is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C₆H₄(CH₃)₂. It is a constitutional isomer of m-xylene and p-xylene. A colourless, slightly oily liquid, o-Xylene is highly flammable, and its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. From a health perspective, it is harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, capable of causing eye and skin irritation; prolonged or excessive exposure to its vapors may also lead to dizziness, headaches, and central nervous system depression.

 

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Avoidance of ignition sources. Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
