COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Nature Cyanoacrylate adhesive. Hazardous Components in Product for EC 3. Component Name Concentration R Phrases Ethyl cyanoacrylate 60.00 - 90.00 R36/37/38 Classification Xi HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Bonds skin and eyes in seconds. Highly reactive to water. (See Section 4 on first aid). 4. FIRST AID MEASURES First Aid - Inhalation Remove affected person to fresh air, and if still feeling unwell seek medical attention. First Aid - Skin 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. First Aid - Eyes If the eye is bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with wet pad. Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein causing lachrymatory effect which will help to debond 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. First Aid - 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). 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Non flammable product (flash point is greater than 80°C (CC)). If product is involved in fire extinguish with dry powder, foam or carbon dioxide. Trace amounts of toxic fumes may be released MSDS_IE Page 1 of 4 SAFETY DATA SHEET Loctite Corporation Super Attak Gel 0190103c 3.00 IE EA 08.11.1999 MSDS_IE Environmental Health & Safety Affairs Health & Regulatory Affairs - Europe 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES on incineration and the use of breathing apparatus is recommended. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Ventilate area. Do not use cloths for mopping up. Polymerise with water and scrape off floor. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 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. Storage For optimum shelf life store in original containers under refrigerated conditions at 2°C to 8°C. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational exposure limits Ethyl cyanoacrylate ACGIH: TLV 0ppm 8h TWA. HSA (1999) C.O.P : OEL 2ppm (8mg/m3) 8h TWA.

In dry atmosphere with < 50% humidity, vapours may irritate the eyes and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of vapours may lead to chronic effects in sensitive individuals. Skin This product is classified as a skin irritant. Bonds skin in seconds. Considered to be of low toxicity: acute dermal LD50 (rabbit)>2000mg/kg. Due to polymerisation at the skin surface MSDS_IE Page 2 of 4 SAFETY DATA SHEET Loctite Corporation Super Attak Gel 0190103c 3.00 IE EA 08.11.1999 MSDS_IE Environmental Health & Safety Affairs Health & Regulatory Affairs - Europe 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION allergic reaction is not considered possible. Eyes This product is an irritant to the eyes. Liquid product will bond eyelids. In a dry atmosphere (RH<50%) vapours may cause irritation and lachrymatory effect. Ingestion Cyanoacrylates are considered to have relatively low toxicity. Acute oral LD50 is >5000mg/kg (rat). It is almost impossible to swallow as it rapidly polymerises in the mouth. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Biodegradable product of low ecotoxicity. Does not contain and is not manufactured with any of the substances listed on the Montreal protocol. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. Polymerise by adding slowly to water (10:1). Dispose of as water insoluble non-toxic solid chemical in authorised landfill or incinerate under controlled conditions. 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION None UN Number Air (IATA) Sea (IMO) Road (ADR)/Rail (RID) Not classified. Not classified. Not classified. 15. REGULATORY INFORMATION Cyanoacrylate. Danger.

MSDS_IE Page 4 of 4 Technical Data Sheet Product 454 Worldwide Version, February 1996 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Rapid bonding of a wide range of metal, plastic or elastomeric materials, particularly suited for bonding porous or absorbent materials such as wood, paper, leather or fabric. 100 60%RH % of Full Strength PRODUCT DESCRIPTION LOCTITE® Product 454 is fast curing, single component gel cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is specifically formulated for difficult to bond substrates. The gel consistency prevents adhesive flow even on vertical surfaces. 75 40%RH 20%RH 50 25 0 0 PROPERTIES OF UNCURED MATERIAL 10 20 30 40 60 50 Cure Time, seconds Typical Value Chemical Type Ethyl cyanoacrylate Appearance Clear, translucent 1.1 Specific Gravity @ 25°C Gel Viscosity @ 25°C, mPa.s (cP) >80 Flash Point (TCC), °C Range TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE Under normal conditions, the surface moisture initiates the hardening process. Although full functional strength is developed in a relatively short time, curing continues for at least 24 hours before full chemical/solvent resistance is developed. Cure speed vs. activator Where cure speed is unacceptably long due to large gaps or low relative humidity applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed. However , this can reduce the ultimate strength of the bond, therefore testing is recommended to confirm effect.

The table below shows the fixture time achieved on different materials at 22°C, 50% relative humidity. This is defined as the time to develop a shear strength of 0.1 N/mm² (14.5 psi) tested according to ASTM D1002.

High cure speed is favoured by thin bond lines. Increasing the bond gap will slow down the rate of cure. Cure speed vs. humidity The rate of cure will depend on the ambient relative humidity.
