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