Instant adhesives, commonly referred to as cyanoacrylates, are one-component, low-viscosity liquids that cure rapidly with just contact pressure and surface moisture.
Using thin bond lines, cyanoacrylates adhere well to plastics, metals and rubbers. With the use of primers, they can also adhere to Low Surface Energy (LSE) plastics and elastomers. Cyanoacrylates tend to have low flexibility, peel strength and impact resistance compared to other structural adhesives. They are generally used for applications such as gasket bonding, tight-fitting joints and smaller assemblies.
