metyylitsüanoakrylaatti

Metyylitsüanoakrylaatti, often abbreviated as MCA or sometimes referred to by its trade name such as "Super Glue" or "Krazy Glue", is a fast-acting adhesive. It belongs to the cyanoacrylate family of chemicals. MCA is a monomer that polymerizes rapidly when exposed to moisture, forming a strong, rigid bond. This polymerization process is what causes the glue to harden and hold materials together.

The primary use of metyylitsüanoakrylaatti is as an adhesive for a wide variety of materials including plastics, rubber, metal, and ceramics. Its quick setting time makes it popular for quick repairs and assembly tasks. However, its brittleness can be a limitation for applications requiring flexibility. Care must be taken to avoid skin contact, as MCA can bond skin together almost instantly. It can also bond to clothing and other surfaces. Inhalation of vapors should be minimized due to potential respiratory irritation. Safe handling practices, including adequate ventilation and avoiding direct contact, are recommended when using products containing metyylitsüanoakrylaatti.
