INGESTION:  

LD50=12.2cc/kg

EYES:                  

Irritates eyes, mucous membranes.

INHALATION:       

Yes

SKIN:

No

INGESTION:

Lips may become stuck together:  apply copious amounts of warm water & encourage wetting/pressure from saliva inside mouth.  Peel or roll (do not pull) lips apart.  It is almost impossible to swallow cyanoacrylate as adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva & may adhere to inside of mouth.  Saliva will lift adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing adhesive after detachment.

EYES:

Tearing from eye irritating.  Remove to fresh air.  Flush areas of contact with water.  Adhesive will disassociate from eye/eyelids over time, usually within several hours.  Temporary weeping of eyes/double vision may be experienced until clearance is achieved.

INHALATION:

Irritation of mucous membranes/coughing.  Remove to fresh air.  Prolonged or repeated exposure may produce allergic reactions with asthma-like symptoms in sensitive individuals.

SKIN:

Immerse bonded areas in warm, soapy water.  Peel or roll skin apart.  Remove cured adhesive with several applications of warm, soapy water.  Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED:

Polymerized with water.  Solid material may be scraped from surface.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Incinerate solid combustible waste or dump as chemical waste a according to local, state and federal regulations.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Avoid moisture, direct UV-sunlight and do not store above 25°C.  Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:

Avoid breathing vapor, contact with eyes/skin.  Do not store at -5°C which freezes product to useless state.  Product not damage by freezing.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

A NIOSH-approved organic vapor canister may be used to maintain vapor concentrations below TLV.

VENTILATION:

Local exhaust:  To maintain vapor concentrations below TLV.
