Cyanoacrylate Adhesives | Super Glue for Business

Our selection of premium UK-manufactured cyanoacrylate adhesives (super glue) provides reliable solutions for a wide range of bonding applications. Designed for rapid setting and strong adhesion, these adhesives are suitable for general-purpose use across various surfaces and repair sizes. For challenging-to-reach cracks, we offer low-viscosity and ultra-thin CA glues that facilitate capillary action, allowing precise penetration into small gaps. For larger gaps, higher-viscosity formulations are recommended to achieve effective fill. To ensure fast curing and bonding times, our DMPT-free CA activators can be used in conjunction with higher-viscosity adhesives.

What are CA Adhesives and How Do They Work?

Ethyl Cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives, commonly known as superglues, are fast-curing bonding agents suitable for many materials. Thin CA formulas excel on smooth surfaces, while higher-viscosity variants are effective on porous materials but typically have slower drying times. These adhesives are based on cyanoacrylate monomers that rapidly polymerize upon exposure to moisture, resulting in durable, strong bonds suitable for various applications.

Application Guidelines for CA Glues

Apply with precision using the provided nozzles to ensure controlled dispensing. Clean surfaces thoroughly before application. Use a small amount of adhesive, then press parts together firmly. The nozzle helps minimize waste and ensures a strong, clean bond.

Suitable Surfaces

CA adhesives are compatible with a variety of materials, including: 

ABS, Acrylic, Cardboard, Ceramic, Composite, Cork, Leather, Metal, Paper, Plastic, PVC, Rubber, Softwood, Stone, Vinyl, Wood.

Cyanoacrylate Adhesives (Super Glue) Application Uses

CA glue is appropriate for various applications due to its rapid curing time and high-performance bonding capabilities. These characteristics enable it to effectively bond surfaces, repair hairline cracks (thin super glue), and adhere to close-fitting components. Additionally, its versatility makes it suitable for numerous specialized uses, including but not limited to:

• • Model assembly and intricate repairs

• • Versatile: Suitable for bonding many materials, including dissimilar surfaces.
• • Precise Application: Nozzles allow for controlled, clean dispensing.

How do you remove cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive?

Cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive can be removed using acetone, but for an even safer option for CA removal PC68 superglue debonder should be used. It is important to use these solvents with caution in case they affect the substrates and in a well-ventilated area.

Can cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive be used for outdoor applications?

Cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive is not recommended for outdoor applications as it can degrade in sunlight and exposure to moisture. For outdoor applications, it is better to use an adhesive specifically designed for outdoor use.

Can cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive be used on flexible materials?

Cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive can be used on flexible materials, but it may not be suitable for applications where the material will be under constant stress or movement as the bond line is much harder than the flexible material, and constant movement will cause stress cracking (use toughened superglue for dissimilar surfaces to prevent stress cracking).

What is the shelf life of cyanoacrylate adhesives (super glue)?

The shelf life of cyanoacrylate superglue adhesive varies depending on the specific product; but it is typically around one year. It is important to store the adhesive in a cool, dry place to extend its shelf life.

Safety information

When using cyanoacrylate superglue adhesives, proper safety precautions are essential. Cyanoacrylates can bond skin, eyes and other body parts together if they come into contact with them.
