The History of Super Glue

I'm sure many of you have already wondered where super glue came from. In the past there have been urban legends that described super glue as an 'accidental solution' to battle wounds during World War Ii, but the actual evolution is slightly different.

In 1942 the original cyanoacrylates (chemical name) were discovered while searching for materials that could make clear plastic gun sights for the war. While searching for these materials, scientists came upon a formulation that stuck to all things it came into sense with. These cyanoacrylates were rapidly rejected by American researchers for the sole guess that they stuck to all things they came in sense with. It wasn't until 9 years later that these cyanoacrylates were rediscovered by researchers from Eastman Kodak. Fred Joyner and Harry Coover recognized the true possible for these cyanoacrylates and it was first sold as a industrial goods in 1958. Since then Super Glue has evolved into any other great products, and continues to grow even to this day.

Later in the evolution of Super Glue life, a logo of a hanging car was created. This came about when a radio center hears about super glues and decided to put them to the test at a local junk yard. Most of the major brands on the store participated in the competition to hold a hanging car from a crane. Super Glue Corporation's goods turned out to be the best and later the logo was created.
