CYANOACRYLATE ADHESIVES CX80

Instant bonding of damaged parts for long life?
Cyanoacrylate adhesives have a shear strength of 7 to 20 ^N/mm2.
At the same time, they are solvent-free and transparent.
This is why their use in industry is very wide.
They are also popular in small, home or workshop repairs.

Where is cyanoacrylate adhesive used?

Cyano-acrylate glue is also called universal glue.
Among the materials that can be joined with it are metals, plastics, wood, rubber or leather.
Another of its advantages is its very fast action. The curing time of the glue is about a dozen seconds.
At the same time, this is a certain limitation in terms of the size of the parts to be glued.
For this reason, cyanoacrylate adhesives are mainly used for small repairs and joining different materials together.
This is a popular solution in almost every manufacturing industry.
At the same time, they are very popular adhesives for workshop and home use.

Types of cyanoacrylate adhesives

There are several types of instant adhesives.
The main difference between them is the material with which they work best.
Which cyanoacrylate adhesives are most commonly encountered?

• Butyl adhesives are designed for delicate plastics.
• Polymeric materials like rubber, rubber and elastomers are best joined with ethyl cyanoacrylate glue.
• Methyl cyanoacrylates are used for metals and ferrites as an alternative to anaerobic adhesives.
• Propylene-based adhesives show a much lower smoke effect, while providing better mechanical properties.

Alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylates also show less smoke.
However, it is worth remembering that all the mentioned varieties are hydrocarbon-based.
A more environmentally friendly solution, on the other hand, is Eko Bondix, a construction adhesive for joining large parts.
Universal adhesives, on the other hand, are often its complement: for tightening small plastic or rubber additives.

Effective use of cyanoacrylate adhesives

Under what conditions should it be used cyanoacrylate adhesive?
Temperature Room temperature and humidity in the range of 40-60% allows the best results.
However, in some cases cyanoacrylates can be applied even under water.
The most important thing, however, is that the application of the glue and the application of the parts to be joined together should be done very quickly, in less than 10 seconds.
For larger repairs , it is better to use hybrid adhesives, for example . The amount of glue applied is small, and the gap to be filled should not exceed 0.15 mm.
The situation is different when using an activator and cyanoacrylate glue.
For what does such a bonding serve?
This speeds up the setting time, allowing the use of a thicker layer of cyanoacrylate.
An additional advantage of using an activator is the prevention of efflorescence on the plastics being joined.
Due to the fast setting time, instant adhesives are used for joining small parts and repairing cracks on plastic housings.
