(1) Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give CPR trained and seek
medical attention.

(2) Skin contact: Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak in warm soapy water. Gently peel apart using a blunt
instrument. If skin is burned due to the rapid generation of heat by a large drop, seek medical attention. If lips are
bonded, apply warm water to the lips and encourage wetting and pressure from saliva in mouth. Peel or roll lips
apart. Do not pull lips apart with direct opposing force.

(3) Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of warm water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. If
First Aid eyelids are bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with a wet pad. Do not force eye
open. Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause a lachrymatory effect which will help to de-bond the
adhesive. Keep eye covered until de-bonding is complete, usually within 1-3 days. Medical attention should be
sought in case solid particles of polymerized cyanoacrylate trapped behind the eyelid caused abrasive damage.

(4) Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Ensure breathing passages
are not obstructed. The product will polymerize rapidly and bond to the mouth making it almost impossible to
swallow. Saliva will separate any solidified product in several hours. Prevent the patient from swallowing any
separated mass.

(5) Note to physician: Surgery is not necessary to separate accidentally bonded tissues. Experience has shown
that bonded tissues are best treated by passive, non-surgical first aid. If rapid curing has caused thermal burns
they should be treated symptomatically after adhesive is removed.

Fire Fighting (1) Extinguishing media: Dry chemical (powder), Carbon dioxide (Co2), Foam

(2) Full breathing apparatus must be worn if fighting fire in a small sealed area. Trace amounts of toxic and/or
irritating fumes may be released.

Spillage (1) If a spillage have taken place, the use of the yellow spillage media is to be used, with the used material
disposed of in accordance with local waste management processes.

Disposal (1) Dispose of in accordance with local waste management processes via the Warehouse.

(2) After use, tubes, cartons and bottles containing residual product should be disposed of as chemically
contaminated waste via the warehouse.
