This invention relates to precaution against a hazard in the use of adhesive compositions based on cyanoacrylate monomers. It relates to a protective composition for the skin (especially the hands) of a person working with a cyanoacrylate adhesive or "superglue", and to a method using the composition, for protecting such a person's skin.

This invention related to adhesive compositions containing certain esters of alpha-cyanoacrylic acid and to methods for their use.

The invention described herein comprises a two component sealant composition and process fro applying the sa,e for repair of ruptures, holes, cracks, etc., in hoses, pipes, tires, etc. The first component is alpha-cyanoacrylate glue which is applied as a layer covering the rupture or crack and after a very short period the second component, a powder, is applied to the surface of the alpha-cyanoacrylate.

This invention relates to alpha-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions and bonds formed therefrom. More particularly, our invention is concerned with adhesive formulations comprising monomeric esters of alpha-cyanoacrylic acid and vinyl aromatic compounds for bonding metallic or non-metallic surfaces to themselves or to each other and otherwise providing a superior bonded article.
