What Are Cyanoacrylate Adhesives?
CA adhesives, also known as super glue or instant CA, are cyanoacrylate-based adhesives, which are resins that cure when exposed to moisture. It is typically a one-part adhesive that can be used to bond thermoplastics as well as elastomers, metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and more.
ADINOX Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
The cyanoacrylate adhesive market is highly competitive; however, ADINOX cyanoacrylate adhesives stand out due to their stronger adhesion and their ability to bond difficult-to-adhere materials such as silicone, polypropylene, and polyethylene when used in combination with ADINOX K770 adhesion promoter.
