Mesitylene

Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if needed. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel.

Symptoms: May be harmful if inhaled. Respiratory tract irritation.

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the contact area thoroughly with soap and water for several minutes. Launder clothing before re-use.

Symptoms: Moderate skin irritation.

Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes, while holding the eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses if easy to do so. Continue rinsing.

Symptoms: Moderate eye irritation.

Keep the victim calm and warm. If conscious, rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs.

Symptoms: Aspiration hazard: material may enter the lungs if swallowed and cause lung injury.

Use water fog or spray, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along surfaces to remote ignition sources and flash back. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air in confined areas.

Cool fire exposed containers with water.

Remove all ignition sources such as open flames, spark producing equipment, pilot lights, etc. Ventilate area.

Avoid releases to the environment.

Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area.

Keep product away from heat, sparks, flames, and all other sources of ignition. No smoking in storage or use areas.

Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the occupational exposure limits. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment and wiring where required.

Impervious gloves are suggested to prevent skin contact. Contact your glove supplier for selection assistance. In Europe follow EN 374.

Chemical safety goggles are recommended where splashing is possible. In Europe follow EN 166.

If needed, an approved respirator with applicable cartridges or supplied air respirator should be used. Respirator selection and use should be based on contaminant type, form, and concentration. Follow applicable regulations and good Industrial Hygiene practice.

Impervious clothing is required to prevent skin contact and contamination of personal clothing. In Europe follow EN 13034.

Technical Onsite Conditions and Measures to Reduce or Limit Discharges, Air Emissions and Releases to Soil: None Established. Organization Measures to Prevent/Limit Release from Site: None Established. Conditions and Measures Related to Sewage Treatment Plant: None Established.

Stable under normal storage and handling conditions.

Not reactive

Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Mesitylene may react violently with nitric acid.

Keep away from heat, sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition.
