Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions comprising: a) one or more isocyanate functional components; b) one or more one or more bis (glycol ether) alkylates; and c) one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties with hydroxyl groups. Disclosed is a method of bonding two or more substrates together comprising contacting two or more substrates together with a composition disclosed herein disposed along at least a portion of the area wherein the substrates are in contact. At least one of the substrates may be window glass. One of the other substrates may be a building or a vehicle.
Abstract:
One-component epoxy adhesives containing a phosphorus-modified epoxy resin, a toughener and an epoxy resin that is neither rubber-modified nor phosphorus-modified. These adhesives are structural adhesives useful in automotive applications. They exhibit particularly good corrosion resistance.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a resin infused random fiber mat including the step of forming a liquid dispersion mat of polymeric resin and fiber on a porous substrate.
Abstract:
An epoxy resin composition having a first epoxy resin component containing an oxazolidone; a second epoxy resin component; a latent hardener comprising dicyandiamide particles having a particle distribution in which at least 35% of the dicyandiamide particles have a particle size of less than 2 microns; and an epoxy soluble latent catalyst is provided. It has been found that the combination of the epoxy components, a latent hardener having dicyandiamide particles in which at least 35% of the dicyandiamide particles have a particle size of less than 2 microns, and an epoxy soluble latent catalyst provides an epoxy resin composition that provides a more homogeneous infusion of the resin into a fibrous material for forming a prepreg. As a result, faster cure of the epoxy resin composition is obtained, which in turn, reduces the mold cycle time for preparing molded articles and parts.
Abstract:
A method for mounting a metal substrate to a first substrate comprises a metal substrate having a plurality of through holes in at least a portion of the metal substrate and the application of a one part moisture curing adhesive on the adherend first surface, adherend metal surface or both. The first substrate and metal substrate are contacted interposing the adhesive between the adherend first surface and the adherend metal surface such that a portion of the length of at least one through hole is penetrated by the adhesive. The adhesive is cured in the presence of moisture.
Abstract:
Epoxy adhesives include a latent curing agent, a reactive toughener having capped isocyanate groups, and certain urea compounds. The toughener is made by chain extending and capping a mixture of isocyanate-terminated prepolymers. The prepolymers include an isocyanate-terminated polyether and an isocyanate-terminated diene polymer. The adhesives have excellent wash-off resistance and excellent ability to adhere to oily substrates.
Abstract:
An epoxy adhesive composition having a higher level (at or above 5 wt%) of a blocked tertiary amine catalyst, a urethane toughener, an epoxy resin modified with liquid rubber, a core shell rubber toughener and a combination of liquid and solid epoxy resins and the making thereof.
Abstract:
A one-component structural adhesive comprising an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer having polymerized residues of: (a) 40 to 95 wt% of a polytetramethylene ether glycol; and (b) 5 to 60 wt% of an aliphatic diisocyanate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to structural epoxy adhesives comprising an epoxy resin, a trifunctional epoxy resin; and a polyphenolic blocked polyurethane. The cured adhesives exhibit high Tg and good mechanical properties. The invention includes methods of making, and curing the adhesives, as well as the cured adhesive and article comprising the cured adhesive.
Abstract:
The invention relates to isocyanate-free elastomer adhesives based on hybrid urethane-acrylate epoxies. The hybrid shows properties consistent for structural adhesives with excellent mechanical and thermal stability, and low read-through. The adhesives are suitable for use in industry, e.g., as adhesives for automotive applications.
