Ethyl cyanoacrylate Ethyl cyanoacrylate (ECA), a cyanoacrylate ester, is an ethyl ester of 2-cyano-2-propenoic acid. It is a colorless liquid with low viscosity and a faint sweet smell in pure form. It is the main component of cyanoacrylate glues and can be encountered under many trade names. Super glue is believed to be ECA. The makers of Krazy Glue state on their website, "The chemical name for Krazy Glue is ethyl cyanoacrylate." Mercury Adhesives is an example of an American made ECA. It is soluble in acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, nitromethane, and methylene chloride. ECA polymerizes rapidly in presence of moisture.

Protic solvent In chemistry, a protic solvent is a solvent that has a hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen (as in a hydroxyl group) or a nitrogen (as in an amine group). In general terms, any solvent that contains labile H is called a protic solvent. The molecules of such solvents readily donate protons (H) to reagents. Conversely, aprotic solvents cannot donate hydrogen.
