Super
Glue (Cyanoacrylate ) |
Heat and moisture will decrease
the shelf life of CAs. Unopened bottles can be stored in a
freezer or refrigerator, but allow them to reach room temperature
before using. Keep your bottles in a cool place that won’t
be exposed to direct sunlight and store away from bottles of
accelerators. Due to the freshness of our CAs, their shelf life is guaranteed
for 12 months |
|
|
With all CAs,
the closer the parts fit together,
the stronger the bond |

"Insta-Cure"
is our most popular CA Glue. |

Some
of the Super Glues we carry: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IC-2000™ is a rubber-toughened
cyanoacrylate that forms superior shock resistant
bonds on non-porous surfaces. The black colored CA has
added flexibility for the bonding of metals,
fiberglass, rubber, carbon-fiber and other advanced
materials.
|
|
|
INSTA-CURE™
has a water-thin viscosity that wicks deep into joints by
capillary action and cures in a matter of a few seconds.
Surfaces to be bonded must be tight fitting and should be
held together while you apply the CA around the edges of
the seam. At the moment CAs cure, they give off a vapor
that can irritate the nose and eyes, so be prepared.
|
|
|
INSTA-CURE+™
is a higher viscosity CA for loose fitting joints in
which the adhesive must bridge gaps. Normally, the
thicker CA is applied to one surface and then the parts
are held tightly together for about 5 to 15 seconds. For
large surface areas, including those with close fitting
joints such as laminations, INSTA-CURE+ ™ should
also be used. To prevent premature curing, don’t
spread the glue into a thin film. Lay down a serpentine
bead with about 1" separations on one surface, then
assemble the parts, letting the pressure spread the CA
out.
|
|
|
MAXI-CURE™
extra thick CA is the best CA for most plastics. When used
with INSTA-SET™, it works better than any putty for
modifying or filling voids. It can be carved with a knife
or razor blade and sanded and feathered to form a finish
indistinguishable from plastic.
|
|
|
INSTA-SET™
is a
catalyst which acts as an accelerator that allows CAs to
quickly cure in thick layers by enhancing the alkaline
conditions during polymerization. INSTA-SET™ in a
spray bottle is normally used to cure the CA that flows
from joints when parts are pressed together. Applying an
additional bead of thick CA along a seam and then curing
it with INSTA-SET™ significantly enhances a joint’s
strength. For difficult to bond materials, INSTA-SET™
can be applied to one surface and CA to the opposite
surface. When brought together, they will bond instantly.
INSTA-SET™ is formulated with a strawberry scent
and activates CA in 6 to 8 seconds without any degrading
of the CAs strength, which can occur with many other
accelerators. It is compatible with all surfaces, even
clear plastic and white foam. |

How To Use Cyanoacrylates:
Heat and moisture will decrease
the shelf life of CAs. Unopened bottles can be stored in a
freezer or refrigerator, but allow them to reach room temperature
before using. Keep your bottles in a cool place that won’t
be exposed to direct sunlight and store away from bottles of
accelerators. Due to the freshness of our CAs, their shelf life
is guaranteed for 12 months.
For the initial opening of the
top, loosen and retighten the top first to relieve internal
pressure, then hold the bottle against a near vertical surface
and cut off the top 1/32" with a knife or razor blade
without squeezing the bottle. To prevent clogging, do not let the
tip of the nozzle touch a surface that has been sprayed with
INSTA-SET™. Before replacing the colored cap, set the
bottle down hard to knock the remaining CA back into the bottle
before squeezing it in an upright position to blow air through
the nozzle, then wipe the tip clean.
With all CAs, the closer the parts
fit together, the stronger the bond. Always hold the bonding
surfaces together as tightly as possible. Any rough spots on the
mating surfaces should be smoothed out. Although CAs will hold
objects together with considerable strength within seconds, the
full strength of the bond is not reached for several hours. Allow
for this before subjecting parts to maximum stress. Also, CAs are
generally a little less brittle and have higher strength when
they are allowed to cure on their own.
