LOCTITE 480

Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Symptoms: Irritation, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness.

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. Burns should be treated normally after the adhesive has been removed from the skin. 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.

Symptoms: Cyanoacrylates give off heat on solidification. In rare cases a large drop will generate enough heat to cause a burn.

If the eye is bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with wet pad. 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: Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause periods of weeping which will help to debond the adhesive.

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).

Foam, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide. Fine water spray

None known

In the event of a fire, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can be released.

In case of fire, keep containers cool with water spray.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Do not empty into drains / surface water / ground water.

Do not use cloths for mopping up. Flood with water to complete polymerization and scrape off the floor.

Materials: water

Avoid skin and eye contact.

Refer to Technical Data Sheet

Wash hands before work breaks and after finishing work. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed.

Ensure good ventilation/extraction.

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. Polyethylene or polypropylene gloves are recommended when using large volumes. Do not use PVC, rubber or nylon gloves. Please note that in practice the working life of chemical resistant gloves may be considerably reduced as a result of many influencing factors (e.g. temperature). Suitable risk assessment should be carried out by the end user. If signs of wear and tear are noticed then the gloves should be replaced.

Safety glasses with sideshields or chemical safety goggles should be worn if there is a risk of splashing. Protective eye equipment should conform to EN166.

Ensure adequate ventilation. 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 (EN 14387)

Wear suitable protective clothing. Protective clothing should conform to EN 14605 for liquid splashes or to EN 13982 for dusts.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Rapid exothermic polymerization will occur in the presence of water, amines, alkalis and alcohols.

None if used for intended purpose.

Dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations.

Cured adhesive: Dispose of as water insoluble non-toxic solid chemical in authorised landfill or incinerate under controlled conditions.

Primary packs containing less than 500ml are unregulated by this mode of transport and may be shipped unrestricted.
