Etyylitsüanoakrylaattiin

Etyylitsüanoakrylaattiin, commonly known as ethyl cyanoacrylate, is a cyanoacrylate ester. It is a colorless liquid that polymerizes rapidly when exposed to moisture, forming a strong adhesive bond. This rapid polymerization is the basis of its widespread use as a superglue. When applied, the trace amounts of water present on surfaces initiate a polymerization reaction, quickly creating long polymer chains that hold the materials together.

Ethyl cyanoacrylate is a key ingredient in many instant adhesives. Its primary application is as a fast-acting glue for bonding a wide variety of materials including plastics, rubber, metal, and wood. It is particularly effective for small, precise repairs due to its quick setting time and strong bond. However, it is important to note that ethyl cyanoacrylate can bond skin and other biological tissues very quickly, requiring caution during handling. It is also important to avoid contact with eyes and clothing. The fumes produced during polymerization can be irritating to the respiratory system, so adequate ventilation is recommended.
