Alpha-cyanoacrylate is the main component of adhesives and has large market development potential.

α-Cyanoacrylate, the molecular formula is C5H5NO2, looks like a colorless and transparent liquid, is fluid and volatile, is soluble in ether, chloroform, benzene, etc., is insoluble in alcohols, is flammable, and is emitted by high temperature decomposition Nitric oxide can explode when mixed with air and reaches a certain temperature. According to the “China α-Cyanoacrylate Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research CenterIt shows that α-cyanoacrylate can be polymerized and solidified by absorbing trace amounts of water vapor in the air. It has strong adhesion and is an active ingredient of cyanoacrylate.

Alpha-cyanoacrylate has strong bonding force, fast curing speed at room temperature, and single ingredient. It is a common adhesive that can bond a variety of materials, such as metal, rubber, plastic, ceramics, glass, leather, wood, etc., such as Difficult-to-bond materials need to be bonded, and the surface of the material needs to be specially treated. It can be used in a wide range of downstream applications, including electronics, home appliances, instrumentation, mechanical equipment, medical care, shoemaking, civilian and other fields. Alpha-cyanoacrylate is used as an adhesive. Common product names include 502, universal glue, instant adhesive, etc.

α-Cyanoacrylate can be used as a medical adhesive in the medical field. It is generally made of α-cyanoacrylate as the main body and added with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Alpha-cyanoacrylate can be used to bond wounds, seal wounds and stop bleeding, and has antibacterial properties. It can be used in the treatment of skin damage wounds and skin surgical wounds, in the fields of minimally invasive endoscopic diagnosis, minimally invasive interventional surgery, and plastic surgery. It can speed up wound healing and reduce scar area. It is one of the most common medical adhesive products.

α-cyanoacrylate is prepared by using methyl cyanoacetate as the main raw material, mixed with piperidine, and heated to a certain temperature in the presence of formaldehyde to perform a polymerization reaction. The resulting reaction liquid is cooled, washed, dried, and then benzene is added. Diphenols, phosphorus pentoxide and other compounds are cracked in the presence of sulfur dioxide, and finished products are produced through vacuum distillation and other processes.

Globally, the main manufacturers of α-cyanoacrylate include DowDuPont, 3M, Eastman, Ashland, and Exxon Mobil. ), Dymax Corporation of the United States, Master Bond of the United States, Evonik of Germany, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA of Germany, Arkema of France, Permabond of the United Kingdom, Mitsubishi Chemical of Japan, etc.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, my country’s adhesive market has shown continuous growth, and the market size in 2022 will be approximately 107.8 billion yuan. There are various types of adhesive products in my country, and there are a large number of manufacturing companies. As the main active ingredient of some adhesive products, α-cyanoacrylate has a large market development space, especially in the medical field. As the number of domestic minimally invasive surgeries continues to increase, my country’s medical The demand proportion of α-cyanoacrylate is expected to continue to rise.
