The strength behind industrial super glue is often a topic of conversation with our customers.  So we thought we would create this post to provide an overview in an attempt to cover this topic.  As we mentioned in a prior post, keep in mind, not all super glues are created equal.  In fact, there are varying types of super glues (also known as cyanoacrylates), that are intended for various type of applications.

When choosing an adhesive for an industrial or consumer assembly application, it is important to identify and understand the differences between the types available. Adhesive manufacturers produce a variety of adhesives, each of which exhibits distinct chemical characteristics and provides different advantages and disadvantages depending on the use case.

We thought we would take time out from talking all about cyanoacrylates to deliver a more light-hearted message, for fun of course.  Even if you are actively involved in the adhesives industry, our guess is that you likely aren’t familiar with the comprehensive history of adhesives. We don’t want to go too deep into the complete details of how one of the greatest inventions known to man came to be, so we thought we’d break it down into a whole bunch of fun, interesting and lesser-known facts about adhesives.

1.  Cyanoacrylate: An overview

This post has been designed to provide insight as to the trends and economic shifts when it comes to the general category of adhesives and mechanical fastening technology for industrial applications. 

Some of the innovations that emerged out of World War II are well-documented, ranging from the microwave to the photo copier. But there's one small tool whose WW2 heritage is lesser-known.  Today we know this powerful product as Super Glue.

Selecting the right industrial adhesive for your business needs is vital to ensure that you are able to deliver your products on time, at the right price and in compliance with your quality standards.

As modern adhesive technologies advance, manufacturers are progressively interested in understanding the use of adhesives in product assembly applications and what benefits are offered over mechanical assembly methods such as welding, rivets and threaded fasteners. This post will help you gain a better understanding of how cyanoacrylates work and why they are a good choice as they relate to alternative fastening techniques.

Selecting the right cyanoacrylate adhesive manufacturer for your business needs is vital to ensure that you are able to deliver your products on time, at the right price and in compliance with your quality standards.
