Record 4 2001-09-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Glues and Adhesives (Industries)
DEF

An instant type glue that is available in various viscosities (Thin, Medium, Thick, and Gel).

OBS

These glues are ideal for the assembly of wood airplanes and other materials. Note: Most CA glues will attack foam.

OBS

The term "acrylate" alone is very often used to designate "cyanoacrylate adhesive", or "cyanoacrylate glue". See also those records in TERMIUM.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
  • Colles et adhésifs (Industries)
CONT

Les colles en bâtonnets contiennent de faibles quantités de solvant : mâchées, ou avalées, elles sont peu toxiques (mais peuvent provoquer des irritations digestives) - à base de cyanoacrylate : ce sont des colles à prise très rapide (de l'ordre de quelques secondes), non toxiques en elles-mêmes.

CONT

La colle cyanoacrylate (type Super Glue) sert principalement à coller la photodécoupe (pièces en métal) sur le plastique. Gare aux erreurs, le temps de prise étant de quelques secondes [...]

OBS

Record 5 2001-09-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Glues and Adhesives (Industries)
DEF

A class of rapid curing, one-part adhesives that cure by reacting to trace amounts of surface moisture.

OBS

Use: instant glue, adhesives for surgical materials, metals, plastic, artificial nails, rubber and glass. Cross reacts with ethylacrylates.

CONT

The three most common forms of CA are often referred to as 'hot', 'gap filling' and 'slow'. Hot CA is very thin and has strong wicking properties. It dries in only a few seconds, Gap filling CA is a little thicker and generally comes in 15 - 30 second bond times. Slow CA forms the strongest bond but its bond times are also much longer. Hot or gap filling CA is often used to tack parts into place prior to applying a stronger adhesive with a much longer bonding time (such as an epoxy).

OBS

acrylate: This term is very often used alone to designate "cyanoacrylate adhesive" and "cyanoacrylate glue" (also called "Super Glue"). See also those records in TERMIUM.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
  • Colles et adhésifs (Industries)
DEF

CONT

Les pièces sont d'abord exposées aux vapeurs de cyanoacrylate.

OBS
