appears in a list of flagged up substances contained in other substances and considered hazardous. It's paired up with 'isocianati' (isocyanates). I've got as far as working out that 'ciano' will be 'cyan', but can't get the full word. Seems to be some kind of adhesive.

Reference:
Cyanoacrylate
Cyanoacrylate is the generic name for a family of fast-acting adhesives with industrial, medical and household uses. They include methyl 2-cyanoacrylate, ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate (commonly sold under trade names like "Super Glue" and "Krazy Glue"), and n-butyl cyanoacrylate (used in veterinary and skin glues). The related compound 2-octyl cyanoacrylate is a medical grade glue; it was developed to be non-toxic and less irritating to skin tissue. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are sometimes known as instant glues. The abbreviation "CA" is commonly used for industrial grades.
