Abstract: The invention relates to a glue composition which has a proportion of water, starch and/or starch derivatives, glycerin and at least one fatty acid and/or a salt of a fatty acid of at least 98% by weight.

Abstract: A container for dispensing a flowable substance, in particular glue, such as instant glue, includes a receiving body which has a circumferential wall and a main axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the receiving body. The bottom of the receiving body is formed either by a plug inserted into an open end of the receiving body or by an end wall formed integrally on the circumferential wall. A nozzle or dispensing tip for discharging the flowable substance is arranged at an end side of the receiving body facing away from the receiving body bottom. The nozzle or dispensing tip has an outlet opening. A lever is arranged on the circumferential wall and extends along the main axis forming an acute angle with the circumferential wall so that a slit-like intermediate space is formed.

Abstract: An adhesive composition, of the `instant adhesive` type, comprising:(a) from 77 to 95% by weight of monomeric 2'-ethoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate;(b) from 3 to 15% by weight of a poly-(C.sub.1-5) alkyl acrylate or methacrylate having an average molecular weight within the range of from 400,000 to 600,000;(c) from 2 to 8% by weight of hydrophobic fumed silica; and(d) from 100 to 1000 ppm by weight of a polymerization stabilizer;overcomes a number of disadvantages associated with currently available `instant adhesives` (such as high volatility, brittle adhesive bond, poor resistance to heat and unpleasant smell) and it has the advantages that it cures rapidly and can be used on porous substrates.
