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. Examples of some super glue brand names are:
Super Glue Gel® [Loctite]
Krazy® glue [Borden]
Super Attack [Loctite]
Eastman 910® [Eastman Chemical]
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.
