At Chemical Concepts, we are proud to offer cutting-edge adhesive technology from a wide variety of manufacturers. Most recently, advances in cyanoacrylate technologies from Permabond, Pacer, Adhesive Systems, and Devcon are taking center stage for their new, more versatile applications.

Cyanoacrylates are a type of one-component adhesive designed for projects in which a quick, strong cure are necessary. Coincidentally, this type of adhesive was actually discovered by accident when parts containing it could not be separated. The “crazy” strength in this type of adhesive earned it the name “crazy glue” or “super glue”.

Extremely high bond strengths led scientists to begin using the components in an industrial setting, and the results have been magnificent. Today, cyanoacrylates are used all over construction projects to secure a huge range of products.

A brand-new cyanoacrylate line is being designed to be used on any type of surface with any material, including wood, metal, plastic, and ceramic. These adhesives will have the added benefit of being odorless, non-irritating, and traceless.

With expanded product lines, cyanoacrylates can overcome specific design and manufacturing challenges.  These formulations are standardized or custom for use in commercial, industrial, and manufacturing uses, which will ultimately cut down on project costs by shortening timelines and eliminating the need for multiple types of adhesives for several different surfaces and materials. With such a versatile adhesive, these innovations will save companies millions of dollars per year.

There are many benefits to using cyanoacrylates, including:

• Superior bonding strength for long-term bonds
• Weather resistant in fluctuating humidity and temperature ranges
• More bond elasticity and impact- and vibration-resistant
• Meets military standards
• Replaces mechanical fasteners with more durable bonds
• Reduces overall production costs

Cyanoacrylates are available in liquid form and are good for joining both similar and dissimilar substrates. Characteristics include durability, long lasting and are high strength. These adhesives dry quickly at room temperature and can be used in diverse industries including aviation and aerospace, automotive parts and repairs, medical equipment, device manufacturing, electronics, and military applications due to the high-strength bonding agents.

Other features of cyanoacrylates include:

• Solvent-free formula
• Ability to modify viscosity means easy automation
• Strong bonds up to 4800 psi
