The difference between Instant Gorilla Glue and Loctite Gorilla Glue

Purpose:
Determine if the Instant Gorilla Glue is as strong as the name brand Loctite Gorilla Glue

Hypothesis:
If the Gorilla glue is more expensive than another, it does not mean it will be more efficient than the cheaper one. If the ingredients are the same, they will both work the same; therefore each of brands will be as strong as the other.

Research and Background

Gorilla glue is usually for repairing things. Glue is a gelatinous substance used to form a surface attachment between separate materials. There are five basic types of glue, one of them is Cyanoacrylate glues commonly known as C.A. and its the main ingredient of super glue Its the newest and strongest of modern glues and its made from synthetic polymers. A polymer is a complex molecule made up of smaller, simpler molecules that attach to form repeating structural units. Once a polymeric reaction has been catalyzed, it can be difficult to stop. The natural impulse to form polymeric chains are as strong as the resulting molecular bonds and the glues based upon them. C.A.s is produced in heated kettles that can hold from a few gallons to several thousand gallons; the size depends upon the scale of the particular manufacturing operation. In the home and office, small quantities of C.A. are useful for an almost infinite number of repairs such as broken pottery, repairing joints, and even holding together split fingernails. In the industry, Cyanoacrylate glues have become very important in construction, medicine, and dentistry.
