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 mouth (several hours).
5.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Non flammable product (flash point is greater than 80擄C (CC)). If product is involved in fire
extinguish with dry powder, foam or carbon dioxide. Trace amounts of toxic fumes may be released
