Description
Methyl cyanoacrylate (MCA) is an organic compound that contains several functional groups, a methyl ester, a nitrile, and an alkene. It is a colorless liquid with low viscosity. Its chief use is as the main component of cyanoacrylate glues.It can be encountered under many trade names. Methyl cyanoacrylate is less commonly encountered than ethyl cyanoacrylate. It is soluble in acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, nitro methane, and dichloromethane. MCA polymerizes rapidly in presence of moisture.

Uses
Surgical aid (tissue adhesive). In high-bond strength, fast-acting
glues (e.g., Krazy Glue); surgical use as tissue
adhesive
