Adhesive Systems RP 100 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive

Description

The RP 100 cyanoacrylate adhesive from Adhesive Systems is a medium-viscosity, fast-curing instant adhesive built for production environments where parts have to clear the fixture in about 10 seconds. Handling strength in most applications lands inside that 10-second window, which keeps assembly lines moving and cuts dwell time on jigs and trays.

Where the RP 100 cyanoacrylate adhesive fits

RP 100 bonds a wide range of similar and dissimilar substrates: rubber, plastic, metal, ceramic, and many composites. The medium viscosity gives just enough working time to place and align parts without running off vertical surfaces. Engineers on aerospace, electronics, sign and display, and metal fabrication lines reach for this grade when they need a single bottle that handles mixed-substrate work without switching chemistries.

Specifications and certifications

RP 100 meets MIL-SPEC A 46050C Type II, Class 2. The product is qualified for industrial production use under that spec, which matters in defense and aerospace contract work where adhesive selection is documented down to the lot.

• Chemistry: ethyl cyanoacrylate (medium viscosity)
• Handling strength: about 10 seconds
• Fixture time: 5 to 30 seconds typical depending on substrate
• Cure: room-temperature, ambient moisture activated
• Specification: MIL-A-46050C Type II Class 2

How to use the RP 100 cyanoacrylate adhesive

Clean both surfaces, apply a small amount to one face only, and bring the parts together with light, even pressure. Over-application actually slows the cure and weakens the joint. Store the bottle below 40 F to extend shelf life past the 12-month mark.
