S24/25 - Avoid contact with skin and eyes. S26 - In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice S28 - After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap suds. S37/39 - Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. S46 - If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Relevant routes of exposure: Skin, Inhalation, Eyes Potential Health Effects Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Skin contact: May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause skin irritation or burns. Bonds skin rapidly and strongly. Eye contact: Contact with eyes will cause irritation. Vapour irritating to eyes and mucous membranes TLV. Ingestion: Not expected to be harmful by ingestion. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical attention. Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Do not pull bonded skin apart. It may be peeled apart using a blunt object (eg a spoon). Acetone may be used to dissolve the cured adhesive. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Eye contact: Flush with copious amounts of water, preferably lukewarm, for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open all the time. Get medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Keep individual calm. Obtain medical attention. 5.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Environmental precautions: Polymerise with water and scrape up. Use PPE if spill is large. Prevent product from entering drains or open waters. Clean-up methods: Soak up with inert absorbent material (eg sand, earth, vermiculite). Store in a partly filled, closed container unti disposal. Dispose of solid residues in accordance with relevant State and Federal requirements. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapour and mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Storage: For safe storage, store at or below 24C (75F). Keep in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container tightly closed until ready for use. Incompatible products: Refer to Section 10. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls: No specific ventilation requirements noted, but forced ventilation may still be required if concentrations exceed occupational exposure limits. Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator if there is potential to exceed exposure limit(s). Skin protection: Use impermeable gloves and protective clothing as necessary to prevent skin contact. Neoprene gloves. Butyl rubber gloves. Natural rubber gloves. Eye/face protection: Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. See Section 2 for exposure limits. 9.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Acute: Ingestion: Cyanoacrylates are considered to have relatively low toxicity. This material will rapidly polymerise in the mouth. Skin: Irritating to the skin. Bonds skin rapidly. Eyes: Contact with the eyes will cause irritation. The material will bond eyelids. In a dry atmosphere, vapours may irritate the eyes. Inhalation: Inhalation of vapours can cause respiratory irritation. Chronic: Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of vapours may lead to chronic effects in sensitive individuals. Product toxicity data: Acute oral LD50 greater than 5,000 mg/kg (rat). Acute dermal LD50 greater than 2,000 mg/kg (rabbit). Chemtools P/L Unit 4, 3 Pullman Place 12.
