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.
What are the safety precautions for handling o-Xylene?
Key safety precautions include:
- Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation or local exhaust to control vapor levels.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), safety goggles, and flame-resistant clothing.
- Respiratory Protection: Use an approved organic vapor respirator if ventilation is insufficient.
- Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Ground containers to prevent static discharge.
- Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area in a tightly closed container.
