Yeah but this isn't CSI
& you and I and the rest of the world all know it as superglue.
Trying to look smart by using it's scientific name (it'd be a bit like you asking for some battered Melanogrammus aeglefinus and deep fried Solanum tuberosum at your local chippy) and then giving the glue a poor appraisal makes the customer look like a right plonking twat.
EDIT: having had to sift thru quite a few msds's for superglue I can safely say that when you buy a tube of superglue what you get is cyanoacrylate. No particular concentrations or additives so whether you pay $5 for a tube of brand name "SuperGlue" or a buck for a couple of noname tubes you still get the same thing. That said the customer whinging about the viscosity makes him look like a twint who wanted to look clever but actually doesn't know what the fuck he's on about.

Can make a bit of a difference
Lower viscocity leads to slightly longer drying times and more of a chance to position your work before it sticks. However, if it's that complex, then I wouldn't be buying it from an art shop. Regarding the OP, most people I know refer to it as cyanoacrylate as in some cases inferior adhesives can contain different active ingredients but still be labelled as superglue. However, I work in a fairly specialist field, so your mileage may vary.

In all the different brands of msds's for superglue I've had to look up recently
(accreditation coming up) they've all had the same concentration and been cyanoacrylate with no bp or additives.
In specialist fields I'm sure there are other products but for glueing your fingers together whilst sticking a clients figurine back together it really makes no difference between the brand name and dodgy chinese made version.

Note "debate"
with a low /talk quotient here it hasn't devolved into
"Your mum gave you inferior superglue to wank with whilst bringing you some tea in the back of your Honda Accord just before that mate of your brother's chopped that massive druggies head off with a samurai sword. You fucking nonce."
God I'm missing Shambles... :(

I work in a general DIY shop.
Superglue is superglue is superglue to most people there. I can only imagine OP is in a similar situation.

Actually, I know it as cyanoacrylate.
In the same way I'd ask for ibuprofen and not Neurofen.
I think the OP suffers from an inferiority complex and feels threatened when somebody who knows what they're talking about is around.
