Description

The name Super Glue was first used by Loctite in 1973 for a cyanoacrylate adhesive. However, before the name was trademarked it was also used by other companies for the fast-setting cyanoacrylate adhesives. Some super glue brand names are Super Glue Gel® [Loctite], Krazy glue [Elmer's, formerly Borden], Super Attack [Loctite], Eastman 910® [Eastman Chemical], and ELFY® super glue.

In general, these are colorless, transparent adhesives. Cyanoacrylate glues set rapidly (5 seconds - 3 minutes) upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation or moisture. When cured, they form an extremely strong bond that is fairly insoluble. Cyanoacrylate glues has been used for gluing glass, ceramics and other hard materials.

Synonyms and Related Terms

Super glue [Loctite]; Krazy Glue [Elmer’s]; Super Attack [Loctite]; Eastman 910 [Eastman Chemical]; ELFY Super glue

Applications

Adhesive

Personal Risks

Contact can cause irritation and immediate adhesion of skin. Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak in warm soapy water. Gently peel apart using a blunt instrument.
