cyanoacrylate adhesives Super Glues are a specific type of adhesive also known as cyanoacrylate adhesives. They bond by reacting with the moisture in the air and on the surfaces of the materials they are bonding.

Gorilla Glue is a liquid mixture of a diisocyanate and a polyol, chemicals that react to form a rigid polyurethane polymer when activated by moisture. Once the polyurethane fills the pores, it expands into a foam as carbon dioxide is released during the polymerization reaction.

Super glue is specially designed to form strong bonds on materials such as metal, ceramic, leather, rubber, vinyl, some plastics and many similar surfaces. For a better hold on smooth surfaces gently rough up the spot you plan to glue with sandpaper or steel wool first.

The best glue to use on metal doesn't have a straightforward answer. Polyurethane based glues (like Gorilla Glue) and cyanoacrylate based adhesives (like Gorilla Super Glue) will both work on metals, as will epoxies and contact adhesive; which glue is best depends on a few other considerations.

Gorilla Glue is perfect for most household projects, fixes and building repairs. So whether you're fixing a broke chair leg or are getting creative, this product is the perfect option as it is sandable, paintable and also stainable.

Cyanoacrylate glue Cyanoacrylate glue is the industrial name for what is commonly known as “Crazy Glue” or “Super Glue”. In fact, the term cyanoacrylate glue generally describes quick-bonding super glues. They can be used to combine anything from metal to plastic and even human skin.

Cyanoacrylate esters (generally the methyl or ethyl ester) are colorless, monomeric liquids sold commercially as quick-setting, high-strength adhesives (e.g., Superglue®).

The water activated polyurethane formula expands into materials to form an incredibly strong bond to virtually anything, making Gorilla Glue your solution for almost any project or repair.

Superglue is indeed waterproof, but not for extended periods of time. For fixing objects that come into occasional contact with water, superglue will hold its bond. But if the object is submerged for a lengthened period of time the bonds will weaken.
