Cyanoacrylate (super glue) warning

[Freenow54]

The same type of exposure sensitivity can happen with the components that make polyurethane. Hives, dermatitis, breathing issues, flu like symptoms, etc. on related exposure (vapor or skin contact) to isocyanates or even polyols. This can be a permanent sensitivity. I would treat your sensitivity the same way, as the reaction is similar (cyanoacrylate also has highly reactive monomers) and can be cause permanent sensitivity.

In a prior life I pumped millions of pounds of single and plural component poly…. Now even a whiff or skin contact of canned “great stuff” foam curing or Gorilla wood glue is enough to cause me discomfort. I don’t get hives anymore, or at least haven’t had that large of an exposure in decades to test the theory.

Once when I was up North in a Deciduous bush I grabbed some shoots off a plant to chew just to get some saliva going . For the next three years whenever I went into the same bush I would get mild hives

I was the certified health and safety rep at my work. If it is like it is in Canada the rules only apply to Commercial products which is very strict . You are talking about Consumer products . We are on our own in that regard . California considers everything carcinogenic as a note

If that's a California warning I'm not surprised . It stuck me as funny because acetic acid is in food products. If the warning is right then pickles would be hazardous. I can't imagine acetic acid being that dangerous or half of Newfoundland would be dead from putting vinegar on their fries.

Its always nice to meet a fellow northern reefer! There's very few of us in the maritimes. Newfoundland is a lot of fun and I miss home sometimes (I'm a newf living on the mainland) but im happy I moved because there's no way I'd be able to maintain a reef tank there. No LFS long shipping times, huge winter storms and weeks long power outages, no thanks.

The silicone is Momentive RTV108, predominantly used in medical/dental, and aviation outside aquarium building, thus It isn’t intended for consumer use!

I purchased these from out of state, and the warning is in numerous languages, so I’d assume it isn’t exclusive to CA!
