Cyanoacrylate adhesives are single component, 100% solids, and cure very fast at room temperature without any mixing or heating required. Cyanoacrylates are also referred to as “Instant Adhesives”, “Super Glue”, or simply the acronym “CA” in the industrial market. CA’s in general, are acrylic resins that polymerize very rapidly when compressed into a thin film in the presence of moisture. The speed of this polymerization, or cure, which ranges from a few seconds up to a minute, depends on the surfaces to be bonded, the gap between the surfaces, as well as the viscosity and chemistry of the CA adhesive. As a rule of thumb, the higher the viscosity of the CA, and the larger the gap to be filled, the slower the cure. Likewise, the higher the pH and the higher the moisture content in the substrates, the faster the cure.
There are two basic types of CA chemistries that have been in use since the 1960’s. Methyl is a better bonder for metals and ethyl is a better bonder for plastics, rubbers and all other substrates. Over the past decade several specialty chemistries of CA’s and modifications to CA’s have been developed for higher performance as well as for bonding a greater variety of substrates.
Cynergy® Cyanoacrylates from Resinlab are available in basic methyl and ethyl grades as well as several specialty high performance grades. Cynergy® CA’s come in many viscosities, ranging from water thin wicking grades to nonsag gels. In addition, Cynergy® offers a full range of specialty grades, including surface insensitive CA’s for low pH substrates, clear & black rubber modified or toughened CA’s for high impact applications and low odor CA’s to eliminate any possible worker irritation or discomfort. Also, even though CA’s are solvent free, excess CA particles can become airborne, polymerize with moisture in the air, and then settle on the surface leaving a white residue. This “frosting or bloom” can be eliminated with another Cynergy® specialty grade CA. Cynergy® also offers a complete line of CA accessory products such as accelerators for faster, large gap or surface cure, a primer for very difficult to bond substrates, and a debonder. Cynergy® offers the widest variety and highest quality cyanoacrylates in the industry.
