3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Physical state: Liquid WHMIS hazard class: B.3, D.2.B
Color: Colorless Transparent
Odor: Sharp Irritating
WARNING: BONDS SKIN IN SECONDS.
MAY CAUSE EYE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR.
Relevant routes of exposure: Skin, Inhalation, Eyes
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: 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 to be harmful by ingestion. Rapidly polymerizes (solidifies) and bonds in mouth. It is
almost impossible to swallow.
Existing conditions aggravated by Eye, skin, and respiratory disorders.
exposure:
See Section 11 for additional toxicological information.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If discomfort persists seek medical attention.
Skin contact: Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak in warm soapy water. Gently peel apart using a blunt instrument.
If skin is burned due to the rapid generation of heat by a large drop, seek medical attention. If lips are
bonded, apply warm water to the lips and encourage wetting and pressure from saliva in mouth. Peel or
roll lips apart. Do not pull lips apart with direct opposing force.
Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. If eyelids are
bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with a wet pad. Do not force eye open.
Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause a lachrymatory effect which will help to debond
the adhesive. Keep eye covered until debonding is complete, usually within 1-3 days. Medical attention
should be sought in case solid particles of polymerized cyanoacrylate trapped behind the eyelid caused
abrasive damage.
Ingestion: 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.
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
Flash point: 80潞C (176潞F) to 93.4潞C (200潞F) Tagliabue closed cup
Autoignition temperature: 485掳C (905掳F)
Flammable/Explosive limits-lower %: Not determined
Flammable/Explosive limits-upper %: Not determined
Extinguishing media: Water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Special fire fighting procedures: Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Unusual fire or explosion hazards: None
Hazardous combustion products: Trace amounts of toxic and/or irritating fumes may be released and the use of breathing apparatus is
recommended.
Sensitivity to mechanical impact: Not available.
Sensitivity to static discharge: Not available.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Environmental precautions: Ventilate area. Prevent product from entering the drains.
Clean-up methods: 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.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor and mist. Wash thoroughly after
handling. 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.
Storage: Keep in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container tightly
closed until ready for use.
Incompatible products: No special restrictions on storage with other products.
For information on product shelf life contact Loctite Canada Customer Service at (905) 814-6511.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls: Use positive down-draft exhaust ventilation if general ventilation is insufficient to maintain vapor
concentration below established exposure limits.
Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator if there is potential to exceed exposure limit(s).
Skin protection: Use nitrile gloves and aprons as necessary to prevent contact. Do not use PVC, nylon or cotton.
Eye/face protection: Chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
See Section 2 for exposure limits.
