How Do Cyanoacrylate Adhesives Work?
Permabond’s cyanoacrylates (one-part adhesives) have been designed to cure by reacting to small traces of surface moisture. Because not all applications require the adhesive between two surfaces, Permabond developed an activator for use when the cyanoacrylate is left exposed. Simply spray the activator on the exposed adhesive. Cyanoacrylates cure very quickly at room temperature, eliminating the need for costly ovens or curing equipment. Gap fill ranges for cyanoacrylates are 0.015 cm (0.006″) to 0.5 cm (0.02″). Temperature resistance ranges from -60 to +260°C (-75 to +500°F). Application possibilities for Permabond cyanoacrylate bonding include wire tacking and tamper proofing. Our research and development team continually pushes the limits of cyanoacrylate technology.
