Introduction to Cyanoacrylates Super Glue
Super glue cyanoacrylate are a family of powerful and rapid glues, known as the trade name of "Super glue". They are mainly composed of esters of cyanoacrylic acid and can polymerize in a few seconds. This rapid reaction is triggered by the presence of humidity, especially that present in the air or on the surfaces to be glued.
Properties and Uses of Cyanoacrylate Super Glue
Due to their high adhesion and rapid hardening, Super glue cyanoacrylate are widely used in various fields such as Medicine, model making, domestic repairs and electronics. Their versatility allows you to stick a variety of materials such as plastic, metal, rubber and glass. However, their effectiveness is reduced to porous surfaces or in the event of strong mechanical constraints.
Varieties and Formulations of Cyanoacrylate Super Glue
There are several cyanoacrylate formulations adapted to specific needs. For example, versions to low viscosity are ideal for smooth materials and applications requiring a capillarity. Thicker versions are better suited to porous materials or where greater impact resistance is required. In addition, modified formulations with rubber provides better resistance to shock and vibrations.
Safety considerations of Cyanoacrylate Super Glue
The use of Super glue cyanoacrylate must be carried out with caution. They can cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. It is crucial to use these glues in well -ventilated areas and to use personal protective equipment. In case of accidental contact, there are specific procedures to remove glue without causing additional damage.
