Description

2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl cyanoacrylate monomer, a key component in advanced medical and industrial adhesives. This compound is valued for its superior flexibility, reduced tissue toxicity, and excellent bonding strength on moist surfaces compared to shorter-chain homologues. It is essential for manufacturers in the medical device, veterinary, and specialty industrial adhesive sectors seeking reliable, high-performance formulations.

Application

• Medical Device Adhesives: Primary component in liquid skin adhesives (e.g., Dermabond®-type products) for wound closure and surgical incision sealing.
• Veterinary Medicine: Formulation of tissue adhesives for wound management and minor surgical procedures in animals.
• Industrial & Consumer Adhesives: Manufacture of high-strength, instant-setting "super glues" for plastics, rubber, and metals, particularly where moisture resistance is critical.
• Electronics Assembly: Used in formulating adhesives for potting, sealing, and temporary fixture of delicate electronic components.
• Dental Materials: Potential use in experimental or specialty dental adhesives and restorative materials.
• Tissue Engineering & Research: Employed in biomedical research for scaffold bonding and experimental surgical models.

Quality Control

Our 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for medical-grade adhesive applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) or as specified for the specific grade. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent premature polymerization and degradation.
