Super Glue Safety Data Sheet

Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate) Safety Data Sheet

The full 16-section GHS safety data sheet for ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate super glue, adhesive, and power glue — prepared for importers, freight forwarders, and compliance files.

Quick answer

GlueMFG super glue is ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (90–100%) with polymethyl methacrylate (0–10%). It is GHS-classified as a Category 4 flammable liquid and a Category 2 skin and eye irritant, with signal word Warning. Its closed-cup flash point is 91.0 °C, so it is not a restricted dangerous good under RID/ADR, IATA DGR, or the IMO IMDG Code — it ships as general cargo. Handle with gloves and eye protection, store cool and tightly closed, and keep it away from water, amines, and alcohols.

This page reproduces the safety data sheet content for the super glue we supply, in the GHS 16-section order that customs brokers, EHS teams, and Amazon or retail compliance reviewers expect. It is the same data set as the stamped PDF originals, published in a readable format so a buyer can check the classification before requesting documents.

Section 5 — Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing mediaDry chemical, water spray or suitable foam.
Specific hazards arising from the chemicalCombustible liquid. Take care as it may decompose upon combustion or at high temperatures to generate carbon oxides.
Special protective action for fire-fightersWear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward side. Uninvolved persons should evacuate to a safe place.

Section 6 — Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresUse personal protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid inhalation. Keep people away from and upwind of the spill or leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry of non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off.
Environmental precautionsPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid entering drains.
Containment and cleaning upMix with inert material (e.g. dry sand, vermiculite) and transfer to a dry, clean, lidded container for disposal. Avoid inhalation. Ventilate the area and wash the spill site after material pickup is complete.

Section 7 — Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling. Operators should be trained and strictly abide by operating procedures. Wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves (see Section 8). Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Handle in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. No smoking at the working site. Take measures to prevent electrostatic discharge — electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping, so ensure electrical continuity by bonding all equipment. Avoid contact with incompatible materials (see Section 10). Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Load and unload gently. Prevent the package from breaking and getting damp so as to cause losses. The working place should be equipped with appropriate varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.

Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities. Store in a cool place. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. Store separately from incompatible materials (see Section 10). The storage place should be equipped with appropriate varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.

FAQ

Is super glue classified as a dangerous good for shipping?

No. Under Section 14 of this SDS, ethyl cyanoacrylate super glue is not subject to RID/ADR (2025 edition), IATA DGR (67th edition), or the IMO IMDG Code (2024 edition). The closed-cup flash point is 91.0 °C, well above the 60 °C threshold for Class 3 flammable liquids, so it moves as general cargo by sea, air, road, and rail.

Why is the product still GHS-classified as a flammable liquid if it is not a dangerous good?

GHS Category 4 flammable liquid (H227 Combustible liquid) covers flash points between 60 °C and 93 °C. That category triggers workplace labelling and the P210 keep-away-from-heat precaution, but it sits outside the transport dangerous-goods classes, which only start at Class 3 (flash point below 60 °C). Both statements are correct at the same time.

What are the actual ingredients in the super glue covered by this SDS?

Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate at 90–100% (CAS 7085-85-0, EC 230-391-5) and polymethyl methacrylate at 0–10% (CAS 9011-14-7, EC 618-466-4). Both are listed on TSCA and IECSC; ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is listed on EINECS/ELINCS.

What first aid applies if super glue bonds skin or contacts eyes?

For skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water and call a physician if irritation persists. For eye contact, flush with copious water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart with your fingers, then get medical help. Do not attempt to pull bonded skin or eyelids apart by force.
