4. First-aid measures
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone eg. Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0 800 764766) or a doctor.
Inhalation: Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing
and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm.
Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact: Do not use force to remove cured material from skin, or to pull apart skin- to- skin adhesion as
tissue tearing can occur. Adhesive may be softened with acetone for emergency separation. Do not
use solvents on sensitive skin or near an open wound. Will peel of in a few days and can be
hastened by soaking in warm water.
Eye Contact: Immediately wash in and around the eye area with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eyelids to be held apart. Remove clothing if contaminated and wash skin. Urgently seek medical
assistance. Transport to hospital or medical centre.
Ingestion: Cured material is considered non-hazardous. Seek medical and/or dental attention for removal of
material bonded in mouth.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Specific Hazards: Combustible liquid.
Fire-fighting advice: On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon , oxides of
nitrogen and hydrogen cyanide . Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing
apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of
combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry
chemical powder).
6. Accidental release measures
SMALL SPILLS: Quickly wipe material off surface avoiding any skin contact. Treat surface residue with water to set glue.
Cured material may be removed with acetone containing 5-10% water.
LARGE SPILLS: Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact and breathing in vapours. Contain. Add water
to induce complete polymerisation. Scrape solid from surface and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal. Any
residue on surface may be removed by abrasion.
7. Handling and storage
Handling advice: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour.
Storage advice: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible
materials described in Section 10. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for

11. Toxicological information
No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the product
label. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
Ingestion: No information available. Moisture in mouth will cure surface of adhesive with negligible bonding.
Eye contact: An eye irritant. Moisture on eyeball will usually cure surface of adhesive with negligible bonding. Cured
material may cause physical irritation to the eyes as a hard foreign body.
Skin contact: Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to irritation. Initiated by moisture, material will bond to skin
on contact. The fully cured material is not expected to be a skin irritant. May cause skin sensitisation in
sensitive individuals. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to allergic contact dermatitis.
Inhalation: Material may be irritant to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract (airways). May cause
respiratory sensitisation in sensitive individuals.
Long Term Effects:
No information available for the product.
Toxicological Data:
No LD50 data available for the product.
12. Ecotoxicological information
Avoid contaminating waterways.
13. Disposal considerations
Refer to Waste Management Authority. Normally suitable for disposal at approved land waste site.
