Cyanoacrylate Fuming / Superglue Fuming
hand and due to the secretion from these pores , our fingerprints has been formed. The
fingerprints contains water , salt , amino acids , proteins , fatty acids , sodium and
potassium .when we use cyanoacrylate fuming ( superglue fuming ) technique,
the vapors of cyanoacrylate react with fatty acids, amino acids and with proteins
present in a latent fingerprints .
used for latent fingerprint development. The exhibit are placed in an airtight tank along
with a small heater .Few drops of liquid super glue are placed in an open container and
it placed on top of the heater inside the tank. Sealed the tank and activate the heater.
Switch on the process button and inside the superglue chamber polymerization of
ethyl or methyl 2 cyanoacrylate take place. When the desired result achieved start
the purge cycle which remove all the fumes.
humidity , fuming timing and fume evacuation time are adjusted by the user. This leads
to exact duration and proper fuming. Proper position of exhibits in the superglue
chamber possible as it has hanging rods and shelves. From beginning to end fuming
system is automatically adjusted.Automatic system save the labor of the user.
