1. VOC,
There are many volatile organic compounds (VOC) in adhesives. The aromatic hydrocarbon solvents contained in these compounds are very toxic and even carcinogenic.

2. Curing agent plasticizer,
Aromatic amine curing agents are very toxic, and some can cause bladder cancer, such as m-phenylenediamine, etc.; the plasticizer tricresyl phosphate is extremely toxic, especially harmful to the liver and kidneys, and may even cause cancer.

3. Toxic fillers,
There are many types of fillers used in adhesives, some of which can also cause toxicity. For example, asbestos powder fibers are very fine, causing serious environmental pollution and are a powerful carcinogen. Dust flies with the wind, enters the human body through the respiratory tract and pores, and can accumulate in the lungs, leading to lung cancer, bronchial cancer, mesothelioma, etc.

4. Toxic and harmful additives,

Attention must be paid to the toxicity of some additives. Anti-aging agent D has been confirmed It is carcinogenic, and MOCA, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), and dibutyltin dilaurate are all highly toxic. Extended information:
Ways to prevent toxicity when using adhesives:
1. Strengthen ventilation and exhaust in places where adhesives are used to avoid inhaling toxic substances into the respiratory tract;
1. When using adhesives, machinery can be used instead of manual operations to avoid contact between humans and poisons;
3. When choosing adhesives, you can choose solvent-free or water-soluble and other low-toxic or non-toxic adhesives;
4. When using adhesives, you can use masks, gas masks, gloves and skin protectants to avoid direct contact with the adhesive.
