Glass bonding adhesive with reduced slippage

An epoxy-based crash durable adhesive composition including: (I) a liquid resin system comprising: (a) at least one epoxy resin; and (b) at least one toughener; wherein the viscosity of the above liquid resin system is less than about 800 Pa s at a temperature of 15&#xb0; C.; and wherein the viscosity of the above liquid resin system is greater than about 5 Pa-s at a temperature of 60&#xb0; C.; (II) a solid material comprising: (c) at least one hydrophobic fumed silica, wherein the fumed silica is present in the adhesive composition at a concentration of greater than 5 weight percent; and (III) a curative material comprising: (d) at least one latent heat-activated curing agent; wherein the rheology of the epoxy-based crash durable adhesive composition is such that the adhesive composition is pumpable at a temperature of 15&#xb0; C. or greater; and wherein the epoxy-based crash durable adhesive composition exhibits an increase in wash-off resistance; a process for making the above adhesive composition; and a process for bonding metal substrates together with the above adhesive composition.

Adhesive composition

The invention is an epoxy resin system useful as an adhesive for high temperature applications. The system is a combination of a diglycidyl ether a bisphenol epoxy resin(s), at amounts of 30-70% by weight, with 1-10% by weight of an epoxy novolac resin 10-30% by weight of a polyurethane toughener which preferably has the terminal isocyanate functional group blocked, 1-8% by weight of a hardener, 0.1-% by weight of a cure accelerator, preferably a latent urea cure accelerator, provides the desired balance of mechanical strength and elastic modulus. The epoxy novolac resin is characterized by at least one of the following features: (i) having a viscosity at 25 degrees C. of less than 3000 mPa-s according to ASTM D-445, (ii) an average number of epoxide groups per molecule of more than 2 but less than 3.7, and (iii) a molecular weight of less than 750 g/mol.

High temperature epoxy adhesive formulations

Disclosed are one-component epoxy resin adhesive compositions which include (a) one or more non-rubber-modified epoxy resins; (b) one or more latent epoxy curing agents; (c) one or more toughening agents; and (d) zinc oxide nanoparticles. The one-component epoxy resin adhesive compositions exhibit improved toughness of the adhesive as measured by its lap shear strength as well as improved environmental stability, i.e., corrosion protection, by addition of the zinc oxide nanoparticles when applied to metal substrates.

Epoxy resin adhesive compositions

Disclosed is a composition including one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers; one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties and active hydrogen containing moieties; one or more mercapto silanes; one or more amino silanes, isocyanato silanes or a mixture thereof; one or more reinforcing fillers comprising one or more high surface area carbon blacks; one or more untreated calcium carbonates; one or more polyisocyanates having an isocyanate functionality of about 2 or greater; and one or more linear plasticizers. Preferably, the isocyanate functional prepolymer is prepared in the presence of at least a portion of the linear plasticizer. Preferably, the isocyanate functional polymer is prepared in the presence of a dialkyl malonate. The composition may be one-part adhesive composition. Also disclosed are methods of applying the compositions to substrates. The composition bonds primerlessly to hard to bond to coatings, such as coatings prepared from compositions including a silanated component, such as a silanated acrylopolyols, or having silica clusters.

Isocyanate functional adhesive which bonds primerless to silanated acrylic polyol based coatings

A one-component toughened epoxy-modified polyurethane and/or urea adhesive includes a mixture of dicyandiamide and a dihdyrazide as curing agents. The mixture of curing agents permits the adhesive to be cured at lower temperatures while developing good adhesive and mechanical properties in the cured adhesive.

One-component toughened epoxy adhesives containing a mixture of latent curing agents

Adhesive bonds are applied by mixing two adhesives with different properties and dispensing them to form bondlines between substrate pairs. The adhesives are then thermally cured and cooled. Varying the mix ratio permits one to vary the properties of the adhesive mixture so formed for use in bonding many different substrate pairs. The process allows potentially infinite variations of adhesive properties between those of the respective starting adhesives, simply by varying the mix ratio. The invention is especially adapted for use in manufacturing settings in which adhesives are to be applied in multiple places, but differing adhesive properties are needed among the various bonding areas.

Method for bonding using one-component epoxy adhesive mixtures

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.
