Are All Cyanoacrylates brittle?
No, there is a group of Cyanoacrylates that are called “toughened”. This group is usually black, but also comes in Clear, and is rubber toughened. The rubber gives it some flexibility which is ideal for applications that are in an environment that might have minimal vibration or shock.
Can Cyanoacrylate come in colors?
Yes, Cyanoacrylate commonly comes in black which is rubber toughened. This would be an industrial application. For the consumer industry, particularly in the Finger Nail Industry, there are dyes that are compatible with the Cyanoacrylates. Vivid reds and pinks are the most common.
How do I prevent the bottle from clogging?
Palm Labs specially designed bottles have a pin built into the cap that prevents the bottle from clogging even over time. As the cap is tightened onto the bottle, the pin inserts into the nozzle keeping it clear.
What is the Shelf Life?
Palm Labs guarantees their Cyanoacrylates for 1 year from purchase as long as the product is stored in closed containers in a temperature controlled environment. Keeping unopened bottles in the refrigerator will extend the shelf life. Refrigerated product should be brought to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation from being sucked into the bottle.
When would I want to use a Gel Cyanoacrylate?
Gel Cyanoacrylates are best when gap filling is needed. Gel can fill gaps up to 0.01” and is recommended for porous materials such as ceramic and wood.
What’s the difference between a MSDS and TDS?
The Material Safety Data Sheet is required by the Federal Government in the manufacture of Chemical Materials. The MSDS is a health hazard preventive and lists the material contents and precautions. In addition, the MSDS will give you disposure requirements.
The Technical Data Sheet gives you the parameters and physical properties of the product. In the case of Cyanoacrylates it will give you the viscosity, cure speed, dielectric strength, and temperature resistance.
If I get Cyanoacrylate on my fingers, how do I get it off?
There are several Cyanoacrylate removers on the market. The most commonly used is Acetone. Acetone is available in finger nail polish remover. The easiest method is plenty of soap and hot water. If it gets in your eyes, flush with plenty of water and call a Physician.
