Abstract: Continuous processes for forming cyanoacrylate from polycyanoacrylate include stripping a solvent from a reaction mass; cracking a polymer in the reaction mass to form a cracked cyanoacrylate monomer and residue substances; and distilling the cracked cyanoacrylate monomer to produce a cyanoacrylate monomer product. These steps can be performed in short-path, wiped-film evaporators. Polycyanoacrylate used in the processes can be formed using cyanoacetate produced by processes for continuously producing cyanoacetate by forming a higher homologue cyanoacetate from a lower homologue cyanoacetate. The cyanoacetate can be formed in short-path, wiped-film evaporators.

Abstract: An adhesive composition includes a polymerizable adhesive monomer and at least one antioxidant stabilizer, and/or a container for storing said monomer composition that includes an antioxidant stabilizer. The antioxidant stabilizer provides superior stabilization and shelf-life of the composition and/or the container, and may enhance wound healing properties of the monomer composition.

Abstract: An adhesive remover composition and methods for removing medical grade and other adhesive compositions including, but not limited to, cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions from surfaces including, but not limited to, areas of tissue, including areas of compromised skin. The composition, which is preferably bio-compatible, includes a suitable remover compound such as an alkylester plasticizer combined with an antimicrobial preservative to protect the composition from microorganisms. A method of removing adhesive compositions includes applying the remover composition to the adhesive composition using an applicator, such as a spray applicator or a towelette, allowing the remover to interact with the adhesive composition and then removing the remover and the adhesive composition.
