First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air, consult doctor if complaint persists.
Symptoms: Irritation, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness.
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. Cyanoacrylates give off heat on solidification. In rare cases a large drop will generate enough heat to cause a burn. Burns should be treated normally after the adhesive has been removed from the skin. 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.
Symptoms: Redness, inflammation.
If the eye is bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with wet pad. Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause periods of weeping which will help to debond the adhesive. Keep eye covered until debonding is complete, usually within 1-3 days. Do not force eye open. Medical advice should be sought in case solid particles of cyanoacrylate trapped behind the eyelid cause any abrasive damage.
Symptoms: Irritation, conjunctivitis.
Ensure that breathing passages are not obstructed. The product will polymerise immediately in the mouth making it almost impossible to swallow. Saliva will slowly separate the solidified product from the mouth (several hours).
Immediate Medical Attention
Consult doctor if complaint persists (inhalation). Medical advice should be sought in case solid particles of cyanoacrylate trapped behind the eyelid cause any abrasive damage.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Foam, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide. Fine water spray
In the event of a fire, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can be released.
Firefighter Protection
Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not let product enter drains.
Do not use cloths for mopping up. Flood with water to complete polymerization and scrape off the floor.
Materials: water

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use of dispensing equipment is recommended to minimise the risk of skin or eye contact
For optimum shelf life store in original containers under refrigerated conditions at 2 - 8°C (35.6 - 46.4 °F)
Wash hands before work breaks and after finishing work. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374). Suitable materials for short-term contact or splashes (recommended: at least protection index 2, corresponding to > 30 minutes permeation time as per EN 374): nitrile rubber (NBR; >= 0.4 mm thickness). Suitable materials for longer, direct contact (recommended: protection index 6, corresponding to > 480 minutes permeation time as per EN 374): nitrile rubber (NBR; >= 0.4 mm thickness). This information is based on literature references and on information provided by glove manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. Please note that in practice the working life of chemical-resistant protective gloves may be considerably shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374 as a result of the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature). If signs of wear and tear are noticed then the gloves should be replaced.
Wear protective glasses.
An approved mask or respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge should be worn if the product is used in a poorly ventilated area. Filter type: A
Suitable protective clothing
