Cyanoacrylate Guidelines

Guidelines for Cyanoacrylates
br>
Technology

Cyanoacrylates adhesives contain a stabilizer which keeps them liquid. Moisture present on the surfaces to be bonded neutralizes the stabilizer and the adhesive rapidly becomes a polymerized or cured solid.

Bond gap

Bond gaps greater than 0,2mm may not cure at the middle of the bond due to insufficient humidity.

Cure speed

Although 60% of the final bond strength is acheived after only one minute, it can take up to 12 hours before reaching 100%.

Acidic surfaces

Surfaces that are acidic will inhibit or slow down curing. (The stabilizer is an acid.) Materials such as wood, leather and paper carton are acidic.

Primer

Some plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene are difficult to bond without using a primer such as Cyberbond 9050. The primer can also be used to bond PTFE and silicones.

Activator

In some applications, an Activator is used to accelerate the curing. Although this may be useful, in general, the final bond strength is always less than it would be if no activator is used.

Cyberbond Medical

Cyberbond Manufactures ISO 10993-Certified Cyanoacrylate Adhesives Suitable for Medical Use.
Cyanoacrylates are used in the manufacture of many medical devices. There are several approval norms like FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), USP (United States Pharmacopeia) or the ISO 10993 standard.
ISO 10993-5

Cyberbond holds approvals for both USP class VI and ISO 10993 classifications.
The norm ISO 10993, however, consists of various tests. The most important aspect is the biological compatibility which is the compatibility of an article on or inside a body. Cyberbond holds approvals for the following:

ISO 10993-5: Test for in vitro cytotoxicityIn an Agar diffusion test checked if cyanoacrylates destroys a cell culture.
ISO 10993-10: Tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity Rabbits are injected intradermal. This means that the extracted cyanoacrylat is injected via a substrate in the deep layers of the dermis to find out if   - due to vascular dilation – there is an inflammable flush of the skin (erythma) or an accumulation of liquids (edema)
ISO 10993-11: Tests for systemic toxicity Mice are injected with the extracted cyanoacrylates via a substrate intravenously and intraperitoneal (in the abdominal cavity). There mustn’t be a biological reaction by the body
USP Class VI: USP 25, NF 20: Biological Reactivity Tests in vivo This test is similar to 10993-10. For this mice and rabbits are injected intradermal. Besides, the medium was implanted in the paravertebral muscles of rabbits. No noticeable reactions should occur.

XtraFlex Cyanoacrylates

XtraFlex Cyanoacrylates

br>
XtraFlex Cyanoacrylates are semi-flexible, rubber toughened for dynamic and temperature resistant bonds. (up to 140 degrees!) These XtraFlex grades also guarantee a certain shock resistance. Very good results for Metal to Plastic and Metal to Rubber combinations. XtraFlex grades pass humidity, saltspray and cataplasma tests.

Frame Fast® CyanoAcrylates

Since its introduction, the Frame Fast® Adhesive System has been the standard for screen printers, milling professionals and industrial filter manufacturers throughout the world. These patented products are designed to bond various types of mesh to wood, aluminium and steel frames. We offer a wide range of Cyanoacrylate adhesives with varying attributes and viscosities. Various accelerators and screen adhesive removers complete the Frame Fast® line of products. Frame Fast® is a trademark of UNCOMMON CONGLOMERATES INC, USA. In 2002 this company was acquired by Cyberbond LLC, USA and was integrated into the world wide operating Cyberbond family. In Europe we certainly continue to use the well known brand name of Frame Fast®. Next to the manual application we refer to our LINOP Dosing Equipment Programme which offers you a variety of options to apply the adhesive automatically. State of the art is the assembly of the Adhesive Valve and the Activator Spray Head on a robot arm. Due to different legislation in terms of handling chemicals, it may be that products differ slightly compared to the American grades. But this is mainly valid for solvent based activators and removers. Products with the same numbers in USA and Europe are of course identical.

PaleoBond CyanoAcrylates

Paleo-Bond - Fossil Recovery Stabilizer & Adhesives

PB002 - Cyanoacrylate Primer

This is the workhorse of the Paleo-Bond family. PB 002 is a primer for other adhesives as well. Due to its very low viscosity of 5 mPa*s it penetrates deep into the vascular system of a fossil bone; it fills micro cracks, strengthening the entire fossil structure. It captures punky, weak fossil material and hardens it in minutes. This will become your favorite adhesive tool!

PB4417 - Cyanoacrylate Field Collecting Reversible Adhesive:

In the field we often want to hold something together prior to the final laboratory preparation. We often have dirty, out of alignment fossil parts that need a light bond to preserve integrity from field to lab. PB 4417 stabilizer with a viscosity of 5 mPa*s can be air scribed or air abraded away as you are preparing the specimen for permanent restoration. Two years of field testing have given us the "go ahead" with this new product.

PB40, PB100, PB750 & PB1500 - Cyanoacrylate Structural Adhesives:

These are the high strength adhesives used when you bond your fossils back together. Each adhesive has a different thickness (viscosity/centipoises); the higher the number, the thicker the adhesive. You need a strong adhesive to make up the difference of error between the two opposing surfaces you intend to bond together.
PB40              low viscosity, 40 maPa*s, for microcracks
PB100            medium viscosity, 100 mPa*s, slightly ~ 0,015 mm gap filling
PB 750            high viscosity, 1,000 mPa*s, ~ 0,050 mm gap filling
PB 1500          very high viscosity, 2,500 mPa*s, ~ 0,250 mm gap filling, still flowable

PB4540 - JURASSIC GEL Cyanoacrylate Adhesive:

This thick, gel adhesive was designed to bridge serious gaps where you need serious strength. You will achieve a surface insensitive curing within 15 to 90 seconds. This product will bridge and fill gaps. PB 4540 does not flow, it will remain also on vertical surfaces.
