A polymerizable adhesive composition comprises at least one &#x3b1;-cyanoacrylate monomer and at least one absorbable viscosity modifying agent. The absorbable viscosity modifying agent has repeated units of the following structure: Ris a methyl group or a hydrogen. Ris a straight, branched or cyclic alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Ris a straight, branched or cyclic alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and n is 2 or more.

Viscous &#x3b1;-cyanoacrylate compositions

Liquid coating compositions are provided that comprise siloxane containing polymer, volatile polydimethylsiloxane, and aliphatic hydrocarbon. The liquid coating compositions preferably comprise from 18-55 weight % of volatile polydimethylsiloxane, from 5-55 weight % of aliphatic hydrocarbon, from 1-40 weight % of siloxane containing polymer, and from 0-15 weight % of adjuvant.
