Nail glue?

Isn't this the same stuff used for acrylic nails? Also, are there different strengths? The brands I've used couldn't bond skin permanently even if someone really tried. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.191.32.254 (talk) 12:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How to get out of a fix

If you have a problem with superglue,AKA Cyanoacrylate:

Someone has inserted superglue in the door locks of my car, I was wondering if there is any dissolvent in which I can soak my locks instead of paying some ridiculas amount to install new locks any help would be welcolmed From Jan N.Z

I did a little googling, and found the following advice over on http://www.howstuffworks.com/question695.htm : "By the way, if you happen to find yourself in a super-sticky situation, a little bit of acetone nail-polish remover helps to unglue fingers." So perhaps squirting a little nail-polish remover into the lock will help. Note, I have never tried this myself, so I make no guarantees. Bryan 06:14 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)

For the record, I got my fingers covered in this today and tried alcohol (mostly pure) which didn't work, and chloroform, which worked a bit (still had to peel some of the glue off) but stinks like crazy and makes you slightly high 90.216.22.4 (talk) 16:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with super glue is that polycyanoacrylate cross links when it cures, so it doesn't actually dissolve in anything (although it will swell and soften in certain solvents). Acetone doesn't really have sufficient chemical similarity to have a great softening effect on it, and ethanol (alcohol) even less so. Chloroform is unlikely to have much effect either, (by the way, it won't make you high unless you are in a very enclosed space and sniff it like crazy, which I wouldn't advise - its carcinogenic for one thing). The best material to try would probably be methylene chloride, but it isn't really readily available and its also quite a toxic product. If you have superglue in car locks, it will hang around and gum things up even if you are able to break it up. New locks, I think. StanPomeray (talk) 17:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC) (industrial polymer chemist for around 25 years)[reply]

This paper says that chloroform works better than anything else they tested, including toluene and dichloromethane--see page 6. Piojo (talk) 07:55, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reaction with cotton

The current article states "If applied to cotton, cyanoacrylate undergoes an exothermic reaction rapid enough to cause minor burns if spilled on clothing, although this reaction is not powerful enough to be noticeable unless it involves more cyanoacrylate than any non-commercial use would reasonably call for." Isn't this a bit of a contradiction? If it's strong or fast enough to cause minor burns, wouldn't it be noticeable? (Also, a recent accidental encounter with said reaction left no doubt in my mind that it's noticeable, and my painful fingers agree...) Eleraama 05:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rarely has a talk page produced two LOL moments for me. This and the previous remark about the chloroform had me gasping for air! And the page come up very high on a Google search for "does Cyanocrylate work on foam.TjoeC (talk) 17:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Burning point"?

I think it's supposed to be "flashpoint"? Plus, most sources I've seen says it's either at 85°C or "more than 85"°C.

It seems like the term should be flashpoint, so I can change that. As to what the flashpoint is, the International Programme on Chemical Safety (associated with the World Health Organization) has pages on Ethyl and Methyl 2-Cyanoacrylate putting the flashpoints at 75°C and 79°C, respectively. The pages are here for ethyl and methyl. I would presume that those flashpoints can be considered representative of cyanoacrylate in general. wikinick 16:42, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How about octyl-2-cyanoacrylate, which according to the Straight Dope article in "external links" is the form used surgically? ~~ N (t/c) 21:16, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I can't correct for the specific flash or fire points of this substance, but the above commentator seems unclear on the concepts of flash and fire points. From the Wikipedia article on "Flash Point":

"The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture with oxygen. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. A slightly higher temperature, the fire point, is defined at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited. Neither of these parameters is related to the temperatures of the ignition source or of the burning liquid, which are much higher. The flash point is often used as one descriptive characteristic of liquid fuel, but it is also used to describe liquids that are not used intentionally as fuels."

Is super glue usable on ceramics that are heated? Safe for ceramic kitchen ware?

Health risks

What are the health risks cyanocrylate poses to people? I'm curious because a superglue tube accidentaly felt into a toaster once, and I had a hint of how a chemical attack feels like (not pretty).

if evaporated and breathe in you could probably get a non-cancerous growth. besides that lung damage, just like smoking your lungs fuse themselves to pretty much any hazardous substance. just to be sure goto a doctor. Markthemac 21:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

a growth can be created due to particles sticking to it inside your body, causing an infection. Markthemac 21:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Medical?

[ I very much doubt the veracity of "Its major polymerization byproduct, acetic acid, is biocompatible. Cyanoacrylates are used in orthopedic surgery to glue metal appliances to bone. They are often used, for example, to glue artificial hip appliances to femurs and pelvic girdles." Acetic acid is a byproduct of acetoxy RTV silicones, not cyanoacrylates (CAs). As CAs have poor moisture resistance, they are probably not used as structural adhesives inside the human body, unless meant to be temporary.

In reviewing some abstracts via Google, it looks like there are some problems with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), a new-generation cyanoacrylate derivative, and there are some details on the use of "cyanoacrylate glue applied on both deep and superficial tissues" that seem to be slightly negative on animal testing. I don't know much about the field, so I'm just trying to throw out some info, but I personally doubt anyone's using such adhesives to hold hip appliances to femurs. Harmil 20:53, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

With respect to the use of CYANOACRYLATES in orthopedics. I think you will find that most bone cements are actually derived from methyl methacrylates (i.e. PMMA or perspex) and not cyanoacrylates.

Acetic acid

Someone got very confused. Acetic acid is a byproduct from the cure of some RTV silicones (acetoxy types) - nothing to do with cyanoacrylate adhesives, which do not really have any cure byproducts. --borborygmus 19:02, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

Ways to store opened(debuted) Superglue

We often find that superglues caps are not ultra airtight. Bit by bit chemicals will leak out and the glue hardens. What is the solution? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.82.116.21 (talk) 15:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it in a ziploc with one of those silica sachets that come with new shoes.78.151.182.240 (talk) 08:13, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silica won't be good enough. Use a closet dehumidifier, probably containing calcium chloride. Silica isn't strong enough to protect anything except a small very well sealed container. Piojo (talk) 07:48, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant Copyright Violation

The vast majority of this text is ripped straight from Cecil Adams Straightdope. http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msuperglue.html

Looks like it's just the new material added most recently by an anon IP. I'll double-check and revert it this evening when I've got a little more time. Bryan 14:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked as] copyvio and am copying the non-copyvio text to Cyanoacrylate/Temp. ~~ N (t/c) 21:17, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Drat, looks like getting back to this slipped my mind. :) Instead of copy-and-pasting the old version to a /temp page, deleting the current page, and then restoring the /temp version, I've just reverted the copyvio addition. This article has a long contribution history that would be lost in such a procedure. Bryan 04:56, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't know about that bit of policy. It's too bad we can't easily delete versions from the history. ~~ N (t/c) 05:04, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Policy's a little vague on how to deal with this, IIRC, because copyright law is itself a little vague on this matter. Specific versions of an article can be deleted, but in a bit of a kludgy way - what has to be done is to delete the article entirely and then undelete every version except the ones that shouldn't be there. I am paranoid about deleting articles, though, stemming from an incident where I thought I'd somehow permanently wiped an article's history out of existence (I hadn't, but anxiety like that leaves a mark :). I guess if you think it's necessary I'll take a crack at it. Bryan 07:07, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, policy says leaving it in the history is fine if the copyright holder doesn't complain. ~~ N (t/c) 07:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the Medical Uses part is still a verbatim excerpt/copyright violation from the straight dope column, including the quote by the inventor. see http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2187/was-super-glue-invented-to-seal-battle-wounds-in-vietnam for comparison. --84.129.144.156 (talk) 11:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed that section. If anyone wants, they can rewrite it in a non-infringing way and acknowledging the sources. (Or if there is proof that the plagiarism went in the other direction, please discuss it here.) --Itub (talk) 09:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Family

I just deleted references to family and a brother-in-law in the article. Does anyone know why they were in there in the first place? The paragraph is still written in first person, if someone else wants to change it. Emfraser 17:43, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

History

History of Loctite Corperation Aparently what we know as superglue today was actually invented by Vernon Krieble. Maybe super glue should be separate from Cyanoacrylate? Curretly it is forwarded to this page.

Only if there are non-cyanoacrylate super-glue-type compounds. If not, they're the exact same thing. We don't have separate pages for Prozac and fluoxetine. ~~ N (t/c) 20:40, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Superglue" is a brand name for cyanoacrylate adhesives. Vernon Krieble invented aerobic adhesives (i.e. threadlockers), not CAs. --borborygmus 13:12, 2005 August 26 (UTC)

Random trivia

Not suitable for inclusion in the article, but anyone who wants to get a chuckle out of it can do it here:

In the TNG episode "The Child", a type of radiation which causes rapid growth is said to be produced by "certain cyanoacrylates". Clearly some writer in need of a cool-sounding chemical came up with superglue! Andrew Rodland

Health Warning! Sniffing Super Glue is Extremely Dangerous and in some cases couses Death.

For amusement value only: a fellow I knew I college was fond of saying that cyanoacrylates will bond any two substances instantly and permanently provided at least one of them is human skin. Septegram 17:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Medical? Where does it go?

If cyanoacrylate is used to stop bleeding, certainly some of it will remain under the skin once the wound heals? Does it stay where it was put indefinately or does it get taken up by the body and disposed of somehow? —Ben FrantzDale 13:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I once had a small puncture wound treated with cyanoacrylate, and after a few days it peeled off all in one piece like a scab. —Keenan Pepper 22:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bonding

Does superglue form a chemical bond with the surfaces on which it adheres, or is it just a mechanical bond? (Or does it depend on the material?) It obviously doesn't stick well to nylon since that's what the bottles are always made of. —Ben FrantzDale 13:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC) they make medical kinds of it and it was deleloped djuring the vienam war to stop bleeding but is not recomended for cuts —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.169.154.107 (talk) 23:55:41, August 18, 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the ones in retail aren't body safe, they aren't purely one substance, and produced in a places like china in non-laboratory environment "need i say more?" Markthemac 21:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strength of today's product vs. 20, 30 years ago

Having tried several brands of superglue lately with less than happy results, I have the strong feeling that the product is far weaker than the superglue sold in the 1970s. Back then there were a lot of stories regarding users bonding all their fingers together against the surface to be glued, and having this bond instantly. Is it possible (as I suspect) that the product today has been weakened to avoid this kind of mishap? Is this something that can be documented? ProhibitOnions ^(T) 12:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect as much. Despite all the warnings, whenever I end up superglued to myself, I never have any difficuly pulling the bond apart. It only ever hurts if I get it on something hairy like my arm. Pulling apart two fingertips has never been a problem. Maybe the warnings are for older people with weaker skin. boffy_b 14:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article lacks citations

Hi all. This article fails to cite its sources per WP:REF. I therefore added the tag for this on the article page. Not citing sources is substandard for Wikipedia articles. Peace, CyberAnth 18:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC) once i ended up with 2 fingers stuck beacuse they were both sprained at the time and it hurt to much to pull it apart my pinky and my ring finger i had to soak it in water —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.169.154.107 (talk) 23:58:27, August 18, 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article misses most important point

How do they get it into the tube without gluing everything together?

There is no catalyst in the tube, so it stays liquid. —Ben FrantzDale 13:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Toxicity - contradiction?

The Toxicity section has this sentence "Due to these toxicity issues, 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate is used for sutures." which sounds contradictory. Does it mean that the issues are not significant enough or is there a crucial "not" missing? Que (talk) 17:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to refer to toxicity of ethyl CA, so I changed it to that effect. Please correct me if I'm off-base. Where next Columbus? (talk) 16:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accelerator

What exactly is in cyano accelerator (aka "kicker")? The bottle just says "aliphatic hydrocarbons". How does it work?

Cyanos are stabilized by acids. Accelerators are usually chemicals that make the bonding surface more basic. Water is a weak base, which is why your fingers bond together. But to really get the reaction to go faster, make the surface more basic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.15.255.227 (talk) 19:53, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was under the impression, backed up with a little empirical experience that methylated spirits was an effective accelerator (it made the glue react much faster). Next time someone gets the glue on their fingers try dipping them in a little meths and see if that makes the glue set instantly so they don't bond adjacent digits - and report back here! SlySven (talk) 18:19, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Debonding

What is in the de-bonder? It seems to be mostly acetone.

Foam-safe/odourless

How is foam-safe cyano made? Why is the regular type non-foam friendly? Is either type weaker?

Bond Angles

Can someone change the bond angle of the cyanide in the polymerization diagram. The C-C-N angle is 180°. I don't know how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.19.23 (talk) 22:44, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reaction to Cotton; Spontaneous Combustion

Is a video on Metacafe that could have easily been faked really a reliable enough reference to cite? I really don't think so. Brogandman (talk) 17:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reaction to fire is a recurring topic in a number of sources, and is referenced in a number of readily accessible Material Data Safety Sheets for cyanoacrylate glues.Thozza (talk) 13:03, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

stringed-instrument players

It is not common to stringed-instrument players to "form protective finger caps" as noted in the article. I'm a guitarist but I've never heard from that. However, cyanoacrylate is used by classic and flamenco guitarists to strengthen the nails, mostly in combination with silk. This practice is discussed widely on forums, and therefore a few "guitar nail kit" products are available on the market.

Also, "stringed-instrument players" could be replaced by "guitarists" if no other stringed-instrument players use it. But that will take a little investigation. (unsigned)

Some violinists use CA on fingertips for repair of cold-weather skin splits, shredded cuticles, damaged calluses, and so on. The smaller members of the violin family (violin, viola) do not usually lead to the kind of callus formation experienced by many guitarists. I doubt that very many fiddlers need to form a "protective finger cap" which would only get in the way of the sensitive touch it takes. __ 66.189.117.133 (talk) 22:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many Bass players coat their finger tips with Cyano - I know of both left and right hand fingers being covered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.136.130.210 (talk) 03:49, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neosporin as a solvent?

Neosporin is a topical antibiotic ointment. If it works at all as a solvent or softener for hardened cyanoacrylate glue, then it probably is due to the ointment base, not the antibiotics, and petroleum jelly would work as well and be safer. Alternatively, "neosporin" might be a typo. Pending resolution of this potentially confusing point, which might be hazardous if someone allergic to neosporin tries to use it to remove the glue from their fingers, I have deleted the sentence saying neosporin is a widely available nontoxic solvent for cyanoacrylate glue.CharlesHBennett (talk) 00:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You probably don't need such a long justification for such a revert. Wikipedia is fairly strongly against making medical claims or recommendations without a source. (That being said, yeah, it's totally gonna be due to the ointment base (white petrolatum) and not the active ingredients.) -Verdatum (talk) 15:26, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

electical current ?

is super-glue conductor or insulator ? or something more complex like semiconductors ? i think it must be insulator but is there some scientifical data or technica reports ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.77.153.164 (talk) 21:25, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reaction with Cotton part needs to be removed

The cited source appears to be the singular reference containing such information. If this was legitimate, more of us would have known about it before reading it on Wiki. Chemically it makes absolutely zero sense for cyanoacrylate to react with the fibers of either cotton or wool, both of which are fairly inert. Finally, I was not able to reproduce any sort of reaction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.58.218 (talk) 03:08, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I posted earlier, there are a number of references to the exothermic reaction of cyanoacrylate with cotton and wool, probably the result of a rapid polymerisation reaction between the cyanoacrylate with the cellulose in wool/cotton:-

Many MSDS for cyanoacrylate only mention the reaction with cotton or wool in terms of avoiding contact. It is also not clear how much cyanoacrylate is needed to initiate an exothermic reaction, however it seems clear that the phenomenon can occur. Thozza (talk) 18:44, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just tried to soak up super glue that had run from the nail to the skin with a cotton swab. The burn was so intense, I assumed I must have used the cotton swab previously and had gotten some other chemical on the qtip. After stinking my thumb under running cold water for 15 minutes I started researched what would interact with super glue (cyanoacrylate) and came across a you-tube video about reactions of combining cyanoacrylate and cotton wool. Another reference brought me to this page. I therefore can attest from a personal experience that trying to clean off cyanoacrylate with a cotton swab or cotton ball is NOT a good idea. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.217.17 (talk) 19:00, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My daughter spilled some fingernail glue (alpha cyanoacrylate) onto her denim jeans and now has 2nd degree burns from the reaction. The hospital had seen only 1 case of this, so they are going to make a journal of this. Therefore I can confirm that cyanoacrylate can burn. I hope to link to the journal in the near future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.125.145.113 (talk) 23:37, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

waterproof?

Cyanoacrylate is certainly waterproof when it first bonds. But my understanding was that water (including water vapor) causes a long-term weakening of the bond. Is this true? The article says nothing. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 15:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. In fact, moisture causes the bonding.24.117.178.226 (talk) 03:26, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I recall reading about some that weaken when exposed to moisture for a long time, but I've just checked a couple Loctite spec sheets (like this one), and there is no decline in strength or it's negligible. Maybe additives are necessary to make it resistant to water vapor. I wouldn't trust them to be waterproof--the packaging often says it's not. Piojo (talk) 13:22, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

High temperature

Please add information about how it reacts when exposed to high temperatures. What is the maximum temperature of a bond? What special kinds are there for higher temperatures?-96.237.79.6 (talk) 16:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To get information like that, you would need to look up the spec sheet of a specific glue. Loctite has detailed specs for their glues, and 3M has pretty good spec sheets as well. Loctite is better for comparing glues side by side, as in this chart. Piojo (talk) 13:25, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

odor smell taste

"I worked for Loctite in the R&D and applications development groups. I developed many modifications and pioneered several unique medical apps using cyanoacrylates. Typically for use in the body the type of CA is called N Propyl Cyanacrylate ester. It is triple distilled for both purity and use. Once the cyanoacylate has polymerized it is considered inert. It is a thermoplastic so will melt when heated to typically above 180C. It is a pure monomer system when seen as a clear watery liquid..."

"sorry but CA's do not have any solvent in them.. they are what is called 100% solids adhesives... meaning they are 100% monomer... No solvents whatso ever... what you smell is the monomer evaporating at ambient conditions.. typically they volatilize during thr first minutes of application.. until the surface etc cures or polymerizes... then there is no smell left.. since all the liquid is polymerized to a solid."

How CA Polymerization occurs
"First you need to know that all CA's are stabilized.. with a weak acid to prevent the polymerization from starting..then when a CA is applied to a surface that is or has been in ambient conditions, meaning it has adsorbed moisture from the air. The cyanoacrylate undergoes anionic polymerization in the presence of the weak base, such as adsorbed water on the surface. More simply, when the adhesive contacts a surface, the water present on the surface neutralizes the acidic stabilizer in the adhesive, initiating the polymerization.. this is why you should always exhale a few breaths on the mating surfaces to be bonded with CA's just prior to bonding.. expecially in dry climates like AZ.. This initiation is different from the Free Radical initiation that anaerobic acrylic adhesives use...CA's and Anaerobic acrylic adhesives.. such Loctite thread bonds, retaining compounds, and adhesives are all very reactive adhesive systems and must be stabilized...but just barely... just enough that they stay stable under normal conditions.. then when that stability is pushed over the edge... voila'..polymerization starts and continues to completion..."

This quote is from forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=48426 -- an enlightening discussion with a Loctite technical expert.

The article should cover CA being pure monomer in tube, no solvent. Stabilized in tube with weak acid. Sets to thermoplastic, melts at 180C.

Please add information about the odor, smell and taste.-96.237.79.6 (talk) 00:31, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, acetone (found in nail polish remover) is a good solvent for cyanoacrylate. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 15:57, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DMF: Dimethyl Formamide as solvent.

n,n Dimethyl Formamide (DMF) should be listed as a solvent for cured CA adhesive. My understanding is that nitromethane is best, DMF is next-best, acetone is not as good. (But acetone is usually far more available than nitromethane or DMF.)

Needs citation - acetone as a debonder

Citation 19 (Clinical experience with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive) is used to claim that acetone softens cured cyanoacrylate. However, on page 244 of Clinical experience with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive, it states: "In our experience, the use of acetone or neodymium: Yag Laser for the removal of the adhesive tissue [cyanoacrylate] did not offer any advantage."

This citation neither proves nor disproves acetone as a debonding agent, a better citation is needed for this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.244.164.220 (talk) 01:51, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
