Re: Is CA and CA Accelerator Dangerous?
guys, I also have a friend that ended up sensitive to CA.
this is the toxicity from Wikipedia:
The fumes from CA are a vaporized form of the cyanoacrylate monomer that irritate sensitive membranes in the eyes, nose and throat. They are immediately polymerized by the moisture in the membranes and become inert. These risks can be minimized by using CA in well ventilated areas. About 5% of the population can become sensitized to CA fumes after repeated exposure, resulting in flu-like symptoms. It may also act as a skin irritant and may cause an allergic skin reaction.
like mentioned before that Toluidine is a component used for in CA accelerator and according to Wiki, is toxic and are suspected human carcinogens.
but lets not get carried away, lets just keep on being safe when we use those products.
Dan.
