Abstract
Abstract Cyanoacrylate compositions which employ fumed silicas treated with polydimethylsiloxane or trialkoxyalkyl silane are stable and exhibit an unexpectedly high thixotropic ratio. Such compositions are useful in adhesive applications or, when stabilized so as to prevent polymerization in contact with moisture, in latent fingerprint developing applications.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
42 words
In a composition comprising an α-cyanoacrylate ester monomer and a thixotropic agent, the improvement comprising that said thixotropic agent is a fumed silica having a surface treated with a polydimethylsiloxane and is present in an amount of between about 0.5 and 12%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
