Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are solvent-free, one-part formulations that cure rapidly when pressed into a thin film between two substrates. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are generally methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylate-base, single component liquids. Cyanoacrylate adhesives bond well to many substrates. When bonding metals and other rigid surfaces, methyl cyanoacrylate bonds are stronger and more impact resistant than ethyl cyanoacrylate bonds. However, on rubber or plastic surfaces, ethyl cyanoacrylate is preferred.
