SECTION 3. Hazards Identification
TISSUMEND II SC

Emergency Overview
EYES: Adhesive solidifies immediately on contact and bonds eyelids.
SKIN: On contact, immediate bonding of mouth and skin will occur. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate skin.
INHALATION: Vapors may be irritating to mucous membranes and respiratory system.
INGESTION: Immediate bonding of mouth will occur. Seek medical attention.

Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Yes , Skin? Yes , Eyes? Yes , Ingestion? Yes
Potential Health Effects (Acute and Chronic)
Not a carcinogen; no chronic effects are known.

Carcinogenicity/Other Information
No data available.
Signs and Symptoms Of Exposure
No data available.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure
None known.

SECTION 4. First Aid Measures
TISSUMEND II SC

Emergency and First Aid Procedures
EYES: In case of contact with eyes, flush with large amounts of water. Seek medical attention. Cured adhesive will not bond well to surface of eye, but corneal damage from abrasion may result. Do not wear contact lenses when working with this material.
SKIN: In case of skin contact, and if polymerization has occurred, do not attempt to remove. Wash with large amounts of soap and water while flexing bonded skin parts. This procedure will slowly release bonded areas. DO NOT mechanically remove cured adhesive or attempt to pull skin apart.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if breathing is difficult.
INGESTION: Possible tissue bonding of mouth may occur. Seek medical attention.
Note to Physician
No data available.
