Chem-Set CA-500 Cyanoacrylate, 1 lb Bottle

Description

Chem-Set CA-500 cyanoacrylate is a medium-viscosity, fast-curing instant adhesive built to outperform conventional cyanoacrylates on gap-filling and substrate range. The ethyl cyanoacrylate formula bonds metals, ceramics, plastics, and elastomers, and it holds up on polyacetal parts that give many general-purpose CAs trouble.

Where Chem-Set CA-500 Cyanoacrylate Is Used

Assembly and repair shops reach for Chem-Set CA-500 cyanoacrylate when a joint needs a fast fixture time without the runoff that comes from a thin, low-viscosity CA. The medium body at roughly 500 cps stays where it is placed on vertical or overhead joints, which makes it a better fit than thin CAs for small part assembly, gasket seating, and rapid rework on molded plastic components. It is part of the broader Chem-Set CA family, which spans CA 5 through CA 4000 plus a gel grade, so shops can match viscosity to the joint gap and part geometry.

How Chem-Set CA-500 Cyanoacrylate Performs

The colorless cure line stays clean on visible joints and does not require a separate primer for most substrates in the family lineup. Set speed under nine seconds gets parts fixture-ready fast, with full cure building to eight hours for maximum bond strength. The improved gap-filling over conventional cyanoacrylates means it tolerates slightly uneven mating surfaces instead of demanding a perfect fit before it will bond.

Shops that need a thinner or thicker grade can step up or down within the same Chem-Set CA line, from CA 5 for tight-tolerance joints to CA 4000 or the gel grade for vertical gap-filling.
