Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
Cyanoacrylates are fast setting, one component and solvent free adhesives. They are based on esters of cyanoacetic acid. To get to a finished product, mainly thickeners, respectively film forming agents (polymer methacrylics and acrylics) and stabilizers are added. The polymerization is initiated by present humidity. Best results are given between 40 to 70 % relative humidity.
Cyberbond standard grades are as follows:
- Powerdrop series (stabilized ethyl ester)
- Elastomer and plastic series (ethyl ester)
- Neomer Series (surface insensitive ethyl ester)
- xtraflex series (rubber toughened ethyl ester)
- metal series (ethyl ester)
- low odor series (alkoxy ester)
- medical series (butyl- and octyl ester)

- Measurement of Viscosities
Viscosity describes the flow-ability of a liquid. Cyberbond measures the viscosity of the products by means of the cone/plate method: the liquid is applied on a panel and a defined cone presses the liquid together and rotates. You differentiate between a Newtonian and a thixotropic liquid. In terms of a Newtonian liquid you will get a relative constant viscosity graph in dependence of the rotary speed of the cone. In terms of thixotropic liquids the product becomes more liquid (down to its base viscosity) the faster the cone rotates. The viscosity is measured in mPa*s (milli Pascal x second) [SI system] or in cP (centipoise) [CGS- system]; 1 mPa*s = 1 cP. In order to allow products comparison all adhesives are measured at the same rotation speeds.
- Newtonian liquids at 160 upm
- Thixotropic liquids at 0,5 upm and at 160 upm
Temperature always is at 20 °C / 68 °F, if not mentioned to be different.
