Description

Poly(Hexyl-2-Cyanoacrylate) is a synthetic polymer belonging to the alkyl cyanoacrylate family, known for its rapid polymerization and strong adhesive properties. This high-purity monomer is critical for applications requiring fast-setting, high-strength bonds on diverse substrates, including biological tissues. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the medical device, specialty adhesive, and advanced materials sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation consistency.

Application

• Medical Adhesives & Sealants: Primary component in formulations for topical skin closure (liquid bandages), surgical glues, and hemostatic agents.
• Industrial & Consumer Instant Adhesives: Used in high-performance cyanoacrylate "super glues" for bonding metals, plastics, rubber, and ceramics.
• Tissue Engineering & Biomedical Research: Employed as a bioadhesive for scaffold fixation and in experimental models requiring rapid, non-suture wound closure.
• Electronics Assembly: Provides temporary fixture or low-stress bonding for delicate electronic components.
• Forensic Science: Utilized in fuming techniques for latent fingerprint development on non-porous surfaces.
• Dental Materials: Investigational use in formulations for temporary dental restorations or bonding agents.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Hexyl-2-Cyanoacrylate) is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for demanding applications. Each lot is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which may include parameters for monomer content, viscosity, and residual stabilizers. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize shelf life and inhibit premature polymerization. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept sealed and may require storage under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen for long-term stability.
