Description
2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (CAS: 133978-15-1) is a high-performance medical-grade adhesive designed for wound closure and surgical applications. This monomeric compound, with the molecular formula C12H19NO2, polymerizes rapidly upon contact with moisture to form strong, flexible bonds that mimic the natural healing process. Its extended alkyl chain (octyl group) enhances flexibility, reduces tissue irritation, and provides superior tensile strength compared to shorter-chain cyanoacrylates. Ideal for dermatological, veterinary, and industrial applications, this sterile, biocompatible adhesive is widely used as a liquid bandage (e.g., Dermabond, Indermil) for sealing lacerations, incisions, or superficial wounds without sutures. Available in controlled viscosity formulations, it ensures precise application while minimizing exothermic reactions. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent premature polymerization.

2-Octyl cyanoacrylate is primarily used as a topical skin adhesive for wound closure in medical and veterinary settings, offering a suture-free alternative with antimicrobial benefits. It forms a protective, waterproof barrier that supports natural healing while reducing scarring. In industrial applications, it serves as a rapid-curing adhesive for plastics, rubber, and metals. Its flexibility and biocompatibility make it suitable for delicate tissue bonding in ophthalmic or dental procedures. Always apply to clean, dry surfaces for optimal adhesion.
