Product Description
Basic Information
- Chemical Name: Ethyl cyanoacrylate
- Molecular Formula: C6H7NO2
- Molecular Weight: 125.13 g/mol
- CAS Registry Number: 7085-85-0
- Synonyms: α-Ethyl cyanoacrylate, Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid; commercial products often contain stabilizers (e.g., hydroquinone) to prevent premature polymerization.
- Melting Point: -16 °C
- Boiling Point: 165-175 °C (prone to polymerization under normal pressure, typically distilled under reduced pressure)
- Density: 1.056 g/cm³ at 25 °C
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; highly soluble in organic solvents like acetone and chloroform.
- Chemical Reactivity:
- Undergoes rapid anionic polymerization when exposed to water or moisture, forming a tough thermoplastic polymer (the basis for its instant adhesive property).
- Stable under acidic conditions but triggered by bases or nucleophiles (e.g., water).
Applications
- Medical and First Aid:
- Used as a medical instant tissue adhesive (e.g., "tissue glue") for wound closure (alternative to stitches), hemostasis, especially in emergency and battlefield settings.
- Advantages: Easy application, rapid healing, reduced infection risk; avoid contact with mucous membranes and deep tissues.
- Industrial Bonding:
- Bonds metals, plastics, rubber, wood, glass, etc., ideal for small-area quick adhesion (e.g., model making, electronic component assembly).
- Applied in automotive interior bonding and aerospace for lightweight material joining.
- Other Uses:
- Forensic science: Vapors react with moisture in fingerprints to make them visible.
- Craft restoration: Quick repair of antiques, ceramics, and fragile items.
Safety and Handling
- Health Hazards:
- Causes strong skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions; if accidentally stuck to skin, dissolve with acetone slowly.
- Inhalation of vapors may irritate the respiratory tract; seek medical help immediately if ingested.
- Storage Conditions:
- Store sealed in a cool, dry place (temperature <25 °C), away from moisture, air, and alkaline substances; shelf life is typically 1-2 years.
- Environmental Considerations:
- The polymer is stable, but production may release toxic substances like cyanides, requiring strict wastewater and exhaust gas treatment.
