Glue and Adhesives

Medical grade adhesive is designed to stick well on human skin without causing irritation or damage. There are specific skin adhesives that are commonly used in medical applications such as bandages, wound dressings, and medical tapes. It is important to choose a skin-safe adhesive to avoid skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Cyanoacrylate, the main ingredient in Crazy Glue, is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, it can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some individuals. There is limited evidence that prolonged or repeated exposure to cyanoacrylate may increase the risk of cancer, especially for industrial workers who have high levels of exposure. It is always best to use Crazy Glue in a well-ventilated area and follow safety precautions.

Water is extremely cohesive due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This attraction occurs because water is a polar molecule with a slightly positive end (hydrogen) and a slightly negative end (oxygen). These hydrogen bonds create tension at the surface of water, allowing it to form droplets and exhibit properties such as high surface tension and capillary action.

To remove super glue from your skin, soak the affected area in warm, soapy water. Gently peel or roll the skin apart rather than pulling it apart to avoid injuring your skin. If the glue does not come off easily, seek medical advice.

Inhaling glue can be addictive due to the chemicals it contains, such as toluene, which can produce a sense of euphoria and relaxation. This can lead to a psychological dependence on the effects of the chemicals, driving individuals to continue using it despite the harmful consequences.

To remove sticky paper, you can try using a hairdryer on a low heat setting to warm up the adhesive, making it easier to peel off. Alternatively, you can use a vinegar and water solution to loosen the sticky residue before wiping it away with a cloth. If these methods don't work, you can also try using rubbing alcohol or a commercial adhesive remover.

The chemical name for white glue is polyvinyl acetate.

There are MANY different glues, each with a different chemical name. -One of the most popular, white glue, is Polyvinyl acetate.

* We have five senses ... sight, audio (hearing), smell and taste and touch. Many people like the smell of certain things and it doesn't mean they need to run off and see a therapist. As a kid I use to like the smell of tar or gasoline. Now, I can't stand the smell of either odor. There is no particular reason why a person enjoys a certain smell (it's the brain and we know so little about it) and unless allergic to latex it's not dangerous to your health.

The ingredients in an 8g Bostik glue stick typically include synthetic resin, wax, and various additives. The specific formulation may vary depending on the product line or version of the glue stick. It is always recommended to check the product packaging for the most accurate ingredient list.

Temperature affects different glues in different ways. Most epoxies benefit from being heated gently before mixing, and heating with a hot air gun after setting. - Silicones on the other hand, harden fastest when cold water is run over them.

The main ingredient in Gorilla Glue is polyurethane. This adhesive is known for its strong bonding power and versatility in various applications.

Sticky tape is typically made of a thin plastic film coated with an adhesive material. The adhesive is usually a pressure-sensitive adhesive that allows the tape to stick when pressure is applied without requiring heat or solvent activation.

Polysulfide sealants are made with organic polysulfides, polymers with chains alternating sulfur and hydrocarbons. These materials are very resistant to solvents, making them very useful as sealants in pavement, aircrafts, and automotive windows.

Rubber cement glue is typically made from a mixture of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, along with a solvent such as acetone or hexane. The rubber component provides the adhesive properties, while the solvent helps to keep the mixture in a liquid state for easy application.

I found this... thought it might help (look on the left under Web Links to find the original source page from EpoxyProducts.com):
"Epoxies yellow, chalk (or more commonly least lose their gloss), in direct sunlight (UV). The yellowing can be a real problem. For pigmented epoxies select colors that are dark or contain a lot of yellow (such as green). Even clear epoxies will yellow and cloud up. Often epoxies are topcoated with latex or urethanes that will retain their color and attractive gloss. This is particularly true if color coding or matching company colors is important.
There are special epoxy formulations that have increased chemical resistance, increased temperature resistance, the ability to be applied underwater, and enhance resistance to yellowing and UV damage.
Another clue of a cheap epoxy is if it requires haz-mat shipping. Generally the better resin systems can be shipped non-haz-mat. The exceptions are special high temperature and/or more UV resistant epoxies, which often require haz-mat shipping."
I also found this at E-poxy.com (again, link on the left):
"The primary disadvantage common to most epoxy systems is poor UV resistance. UV light can lead to chalking (yellowing) and loss of gloss. Although the strength of the epoxy will not be compromised, the material is no longer aesthetically pleasing."

the same thing happened to me and i just used hot water ad a rag. no soap.

try putting some alcohol-based perfume on it, let it dry and then scrub it off by using a clean piece of cloth. I've tried it to remove size sticker stain from my dockers and it works

What really works the best is duct tape. Just dab it on the sticky stuff and whallah!! Goo is gone!!! You definitely DO NOT want to put any type of oily substance on clothing to get these stickers off. It will leave a stain. Same with some perfumes because they have oils in them.

Cyanoacrylate adhesive, also known as super glue, is commonly used to bond zylonite to itself due to its fast-drying and strong bonding properties. Make sure to clean and roughen the surfaces before applying the adhesive for maximum effectiveness.
