Im sure many of you have already wondered where super glue came from. In the past there have been urban legends that described super glue as an accidental solution to battle wounds during World War II, but the actual evolution is slightly different.We always stress that NOTHING occurs in a vacuum. There always exists stepping stones or a progression of events that lead up to a "situation". .....
In 1942 the original cyanoacrylates (chemical name) were discovered while searching for materials that could make clear plastic gun sights for the war. While searching for these materials, scientists came upon a formulation that stuck to everything it came into contact with. These cyanoacrylates were rapidly rejected by American researchers for the sole reason that they stuck to everything they came in contact with. It wasnt until 9 years later that these cyanoacrylates were rediscovered by researchers from Eastman Kodak. Fred Joyner and Harry Coover recognized the true potential for these cyanoacrylates and it was first sold as a commercial product in 1958. Since then Super Glue has evolved into several other great products, and continues to grow even to this day.
Later in the evolution of Super Glue life, a logo of a hanging car was created. This came about when a radio station hears about super glues and decided to put them to the test at a local junk yard. Most of the major brands on the market participated in the competition to hold a hanging car from a crane. Super Glue Corporations product turned out to be the best and later the logo was created.
