2. Base ingredients
– Gum base is what gives chewing gum its “chew.” It
is made of a combination of food-grade
polymers, waxes and softeners that give it the
texture desired by consumers (International
Chewing Gum Association)
3. Solidifying agent
• Canoacrylate:
– In general, cyanoacrylate is an acrylic resin that
rapidly polymerises in the presence of water
(specifically hydroxide ions), forming long, strong
chains, joining the bonded surfaces together. Because
the presence of moisture causes the glue to
set, exposure to normal levels of humidity in the air
causes a thin skin to rapidly form, which very greatly
slows the reaction. Because of this cyanoacrylate is
typically applied thinly, to ensure that the reaction
proceeds rapidly and a strong bond is formed within a
reasonable time.
4. Chemical composition
• The usual composition of chewing gum shall
be used together with Canoacrylate whose
chemical composition has been altered to
react with air to solidify after exposed for
period of 30 seconds and more to solidify to
rock solid
5. Value Proposition
• This product can be used to create “bullets” used
by spies whether in movies or in “real”
circumstances
• So if an agent finds himself in a position where he
needs to use a hard object but has been stripped
of all objects, he could pretend to just be chewing
gum and later roll the gum in his palms to form
round ball.
• This ball would be rock solid when exposed to air
as Canoacrylate reacts.
• This can then be used to subdue an adversary.
