FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid - Inhalation
Remove affected person to fresh air, and if still feeling unwell seek medical attention.
First Aid - 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. 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.
First Aid - Eyes
If the eye is bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with wet pad.
Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein causing lachrymatory effect which will help to debond 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.
First Aid - Ingestion
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
