Cyanoacrylate

Cyanoacrylate is the generic name for a family of strong fast-acting adhesives with industrial, medical and household uses.

Cyanoacrylates include methyl 2-cyanoacrylate, ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, n-butyl cyanoacrylate and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. Octyl cyanoacrylate was developed to address toxicity concerns and to reduce skin irritation and allergic response. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are sometimes known generically as instant glues or superglues. The abbreviation "CA" is commonly used for industrial grades.
