Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air, consult doctor if complaint persists.

Skin contact:

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.

Eye contact:

If the eye is bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with wet pad.

Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause periods of weeping which will help to debond the 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.

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).

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Foam, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide.

Fine water spray

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:

High pressure waterjet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In case of fire, keep containers cool with water spray.

Oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, irritating organic vapors.

Advice for firefighters:

Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Additional information:

In case of fire, keep containers cool with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions:

Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Do not use cloths for mopping up.  Flood with water to complete polymerization and scrape off the floor.  Cured material can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Ventilation (low level) is recommended when using large volumes

Use of dispensing equipment is recommended to minimise the risk of skin or eye contact

Avoid skin and eye contact.

Hygiene measures:

Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed.

Do not eat, drink or smoke while working.

Wash hands before work breaks and after finishing work.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

For optimum shelf life store in original containers under refrigerated conditions at 2 - 8°C (35.6 - 46.4 °F)

Specific end use(s):

Adhesive

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Occupational Exposure Limits:

None

Biological Exposure Indices:

None

Exposure controls:

Respiratory protection:

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Hand protection:

Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374).

Suitable materials for short-term contact or splashes (recommended: at least protection index 2, corresponding to > 30 minutes permeation time as per EN 374):

nitrile rubber (NBR; >= 0.4 mm thickness)

Suitable materials for longer, direct contact (recommended: protection index 6, corresponding to > 480 minutes permeation time as per EN 374):

nitrile rubber (NBR; >= 0.4 mm thickness)

This information is based on literature references and on information provided by glove manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. Please note that in practice the working life of chemical-resistant protective gloves may be considerably shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374 as a result of the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature). If signs of wear and tear are noticed then the gloves should be replaced.

Polyethylene or polypropylene gloves are recommended when using large volumes.

Do not use PVC, rubber or nylon gloves.

Please note that in practice the working life of chemical resistant gloves may be considerably reduced as a result of many influencing factors (e.g. temperature).  Suitable risk assessment should be carried out by the end user.  If signs of wear and tear are noticed then the gloves should be replaced.

Eye protection:

Wear protective glasses.

Skin protection:

Wear protective equipment.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity:

Rapid exothermic polymerization will occur in the presence of water, amines, alkalis and alcohols.

Chemical stability:

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:

See section reactivity

Conditions to avoid:

Stable under normal conditions of storage and use.

Incompatible materials:

See section reactivity

Hazardous decomposition products:

None if used for intended purpose.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Product disposal:

Cured adhesive:  Dispose of as water insoluble non-toxic solid chemical in authorised landfill or incinerate under controlled conditions.

Dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations.

Contribution of this product to waste is very insignificant in comparison to article in which it is used

Disposal of uncleaned packages:

Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
