Traditional cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA) is an acid-stable, single-component adhesive that quickly reacts and cure at room temperature when it comes into contact with moisture (weak alkali) between close materials.

MXBON, our innovative UV-curing Cyanoacrylate Adhesive (UVCA), possesses the same curing mechanism as traditional CA but also includes a photoinitiator.

It rapidly polymerizes and solidifies when exposed to light of the correct wavelength (long-wave UV light and visible light).

The monomers of uncured CA can escape and react with the moisture in the surrounding environment, then fall back onto the bonded surface, leaving a white frost-like residue. This phenomenon is known as Blooming.

There are several ways to prevent or improve the blooming phenomenon before the CA cures: reduce the amount of adhesive, prevent spillage, and accelerate curing (accelerators or baking).

After the CA cures: avoid sealed spaces, ensure ventilation, and exhaust air. However, the simplest and quickest solution is to use our MXBON #22 series of CA, which offer extremely low odor and minimal blooming.

Uncured liquid adhesives that remain on certain plastics (like PC, ABS, PMMA, etc.) under stress conditions may cause cracks to form on the plastic materials.

Some practices can help avoid or reduce stress cracking, such as quickly assembling after applying glue, using reinforced plastic materials, and applying accelerators to speed up curing.

We would recommend using our MXBON UV-curing Cyanoacrylate Adhesive (Light Cure CA) products.

MXBON cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA) is an industrial-grade product that also belongs to the moisture-curing type of products.

For optimal properties and quality, it is recommended to store unopened bottles of CA in a refrigerator at low temperatures.

Once the bottle of CA  is opened and not completely used, it's best to store the bottle at room temperature, as placing it back in the refrigerator could lead to condensation of moisture contaminants and cause the CA  to react and cure.

However, we still recommend using it up as soon as possible.
