Panacol recently announced its latest moisture- and water-resistant cyanoacrylate adhesive Cyanolit® 290 WR. This acrylate-based instant adhesive offers fast-curing time and high adhesive strength on metals and thermoplastics such as ABS and PVC.
The adhesive is a solvent-free one-component adhesive that cures within seconds utilizing atmospheric humidity. After just a few minutes, the adhesive strengths lead to substrate fractures on plastics and achieve tensile shear strengths of up to 16 MPa on metals.
The main feature of Cyanolit 290 WR is its reliable adhesion after several hundred hours in an ageing test at 85 °C and 85% humidity. Here, the adhesive still achieves more than 50% of its initial performance. It exhibits extreme media resistance, especially after storage in pure engine oil, isopropyl alcohol or water. Even after 500-1000 hours, no loss of tensile shear strength can be determined. This extreme chemical resistance in particular makes this adhesive an ideal product for fast, reliable bonding between plastics and metals that may also be exposed to media.
The adhesive has also been tested in accordance with DIN ISO 10993 5, making it suitable for use in medical devices or articles and wearables.
