Skin and eye contact should be avoided and the manufacturer's instructions followed.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives (super-glues) MUST NOT contact the skin or eyes. If skin or eye tissue is bonded, cover with a
clean moist pad and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not attempt to pull skin tissue apart. Use in well
ventilated areas as vapors can cause irritation to the nose and eyes.
For two-pack systems see Resin-based and Isocyanate Adhesives/Sealers.
Solvent-based Adhesives/Sealers - See Solvents
Follow manufacturers instructions.
Water-based Adhesives/Sealers
Those based on polymer emulsions and rubber/latex may contain small amounts of volatile, toxic and harmful chemicals.
Skin and eye contact should be avoided and adequate ventilation provided during use.
Hot Melt Adhesives
In the solid state, they are safe. In the molten state they may cause burns and health hazards may arise from the
inhalation of toxic fumes.
Use appropriate protective clothing and a thermostatically controlled heater with a thermal cut-out and adequate
extraction.
Resin -based Adhesives/Sealers, for example Epoxide and Formaldehyde Resin-
based
Mixing should be carried out in well ventilated areas as harmful or toxic volatile chemicals may be released.
Skin contact with uncured resins and hardeners can result in irritation, dermatitis, and absorption of toxic or harmful
chemicals through the skin. Splashes can damage the eyes.
Provide adequate ventilation and avoid skin and eye contact.
Isocyanate (Polyurethane) Adhesives/Sealers
See also Resin-based Adhesives
Individuals suffering from asthma or respiratory allergies should not work with or near these materials as sensitivity
reactions can occur.
Over exposure is irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Excessive concentrations may produce effects on the
nervous system including drowsiness. In extreme cases, loss of consciousness may result. Long term exposure to vapour
concentrations may result in adverse health effects.
Prolonged contact with the skin may lead to skin irritation and in some cases, dermatitis.
Splashes entering the eye will cause discomfort and possible damage.
Any spraying should preferably be carried out in ventilated booths which incorporate facilities for removing vapors and
spray droplets from the breathing zone.
Wear appropriate gloves, eye and respiratory protection.
Antifreeze
May be flammable when undiluted.
