  • Cyanoacrylate fingerprint development method
    Patent number: 4719119
    Abstract: Latent fingerprints are developed by exposing them to vapors generated from a thin film of a storage stable cyanoacrylate monomer and a thixotropic additive in sufficient amount to render the composition substantially non-flowable. The monomer film should have a surface area of at least 129 sq. cm.An envelope package for the monomer composition has inner polyethylene surfaces. The envelope may be peeled open to expose the inner surfaces coated with a film of the composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 1984
    Date of Patent: January 12, 1988
    Assignee: Loctite Corporation
    Inventors: Richard T. Thompson, Philip Hinkle, Robert B. Carroll
