Permabond CA Solvent 100 - Dissolves Superglues, Instant Adhesives, Cyanoacrylate Adhesives

Product Name

Permabond CA Solvent 100

Brief Description

Permabond CA Solvent 100 is a highly effective solvent specifically formulated to dissolve superglues, instant adhesives, and cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives. It is designed for the removal of cured adhesive bonds and excess material from various surfaces, as well as for debonding parts that have been assembled with cyanoacrylate adhesives.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Dissolving cured cyanoacrylate bonds.- Removing cured excess adhesive.- Debonding parts assembled with cyanoacrylate adhesives.- Cleaning up accidental spills or mistakes involving superglues.- Rework and repair of assemblies where cyanoacrylate adhesives have been used.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Aerospace/Defense- Electrical Services or Products- LED/Electronics- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Cabinet & Woodworking- Furniture- Artist, Artisan- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Sign & Display- Special Effects/ Scenic Design- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply- Prosumer- Construction/ Building Services- Chemical Industry- Government & Military- Marine- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle

Special and Unique Features

- Extremely effective for dissolving cyanoacrylate bonds.- Capable of removing thin layers of adhesive by wiping with a solvent-soaked cloth.- Can tackle thick beads or drops of adhesive, though this may require 15 to 30 minutes and reapplication of the solvent.- Available in various container sizes, including 1 Gallon, 4oz spray, and 1oz spray bottles.

Key Properties

- Chemical base: Nitromethane.- Appearance: Clear to light yellow liquid (also described as colorless liquid in SDS).- Boiling point: 114°C (237°F).- Flash point: 35°C.- Specific Gravity: 1.14.- Vapor density: 2.1 (Air = 1).- Flammable liquid and vapor.- Harmful if swallowed.- Causes eye irritation.- May cause cancer (due to Nitromethane content).

Surface Compatibility

- Effective on metals.- Can affect certain plastics, coatings, and fabrics; it is strongly recommended to test all surfaces for compatibility before use.- Not recommended for use on acrylic plastics.- May stress and cloud several types of plastics.

Known backups / known substitutes

- Acetone (or acetone-based nail polish remover).- Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK).- Other commercial cyanoacrylate removers/debonder such as Cyberbond 9066, Solvent D Debonder, and Remove Debonder.- Warm soapy water (particularly for skin or to loosen bonds on some surfaces).- Petroleum jelly (for removing superglue from skin).

Comparison Note

Permabond CA Solvent 100 is a specialized industrial-grade solution for cyanoacrylate removal, utilizing nitromethane as its primary chemical base. This formulation provides a dedicated and often more potent approach to dissolving cured CA bonds compared to general-purpose solvents like acetone or MEK, which may have varying effectiveness, evaporation rates, or compatibility issues with specific substrates, especially certain plastics.
