Super Glue

Permanent fast adhesive

Super Glue is a brand name for cyanoacrylate adhesive, a fast-bonding glue that sets within seconds when pressed between surfaces.

The term has become generic for any instant adhesive of this type: I Super Glued the handle back on.

It bonds skin instantly on contact, which is both a hazard and, in emergencies, a way to close wounds.
