4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be
administered by qualified personnel.
Skin contact: Rinse with running water and soap. Do not pull bonded skin apart. It may be
gently peeled apart using a blunt object such as a spoon, preferably after
soaking in warm soapy water. If lips are accidentally stuck together apply
warm water to the lips and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from
saliva inside the mouth. Peel or roll lips apart. Do not try to pull the lips apart
with direct opposing action. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical
attention.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not force eye open. Medical
advice should be sought in case solid particles of cyanoacrylate trapped
behind the eyelid cause any abrasive damage.
Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Ensure breathing passages are
not obstructed. The product will polymerize rapidly and bond to the mouth
making it almost impossible to swallow. Saliva will separate any solidified
product in several hours. Prevent the patient from swallowing any separated
mass.
Symptoms: See Section 11.
Notes to physician: Surgery is not necessary to separate accidentally bonded tissues. Experience
has shown that bonded tissues are best treated by passive, non-surgical first
aid. If rapid curing has caused thermal burns they should be treated
symptomatically after adhesive is removed.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media: Use extinguishing measures appropriate to local circumstances and the
surrounding environment. Water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon
dioxide.
Special firefighting procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, such as
turn-out gear. Keep unnecessary personnel away. In case of fire, keep
containers cool with water spray.
Unusual fire or explosion hazards: None
Hazardous combustion products: Toxic fumes. Irritating vapors. Oxides of carbon.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8, isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and
unprotected personnel.
Environmental precautions: Do not allow product to enter sewer or waterways. Prevent further leakage or
spillage if safe to do so.
Clean-up methods: Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Do not use cloths for mopping up. Flood with water to complete polymerization
and scrape off the floor. Cured material can be disposed of as non-hazardous
waste. Refer to Section 8 "Exposure Controls / Personal Protection" prior to
clean up. Cured material can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Prevent contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe vapor and mist.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep
container closed. See Section 8 of the SDS for Personal Protective
Equipment. Avoid contact with fabric or paper goods. Contact with these
materials may cause rapid polymerization which can generate smoke and
strong irritating vapors, and cause thermal burns. When using, do not eat,
drink or smoke.
Storage: Keep in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame.
Keep container tightly closed until ready for use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Employers should complete an assessment of all workplaces to determine the need for, and selection of, proper
exposure controls and protective equipment for each task performed.
Hazardous Component(s) ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL AIHA WEEL OTHER
Beta-Methoxyethyl Cyanoacrylate None None None 0.2 ppm TWA
Engineering controls: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below
exposure limits.
Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator if there is potential to exceed exposure
limit(s).
Eye/face protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields. Full face protection should be used if
the potential for splashing or spraying of product exists.
Skin protection: Use chemical resistant, impermeable clothing including gloves and either an
apron or body suit to prevent skin contact. Use nitrile gloves and aprons as
necessary to prevent contact. Do not use PVC, nylon or cotton. The
information provided on personal protective equipment is for guidance
purposes only. A full risk assessment should be conducted prior to using this
product to determine the appropriate personal protective equipment to suit
local conditions. Personal protective equipment should conform to the
relevant EN standard.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Relevant routes of exposure: Skin, Inhalation, Eyes
Potential Health Effects/Symptoms
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure to vapors above the established exposure limit
results in respiratory irritation, which may lead to difficulty in breathing and tightness in the
chest.
Skin contact: Bonds skin in seconds. May cause skin irritation. Cyanoacrylates have been reported to cause
allergic reaction but due to rapid polymerization at the skin surface, an allergic response is rare.
Cyanoacrylates generate heat on solidification. In rare circumstances a large drop will burn the
skin. Cured adhesive does not present a health hazard even if bonded to the skin.
Eye contact: Irritating to eyes. Causes excessive tearing. Eyelids may bond.
Ingestion: Not expected under normal conditions of use. Not expected to be harmful by ingestion. Rapidly
polymerizes (solidifies) and bonds in mouth. It is almost impossible to swallow.
