A coated article comprises an article comprising a surface and a galvanic barrier coating disposed on the surface. The galvanic barrier coating is formed from a galvanic barrier coating composition comprising (a) a thermoplastic resin, (b) an epoxy-based resin, (c) a curing agent, and (d) non-compressible, non-marring microsphere particles. Methods of preparing and using the coated article are also disclosed.

Coated article and related methods

An adhesive composition ('composition') comprises an epoxy resin, a binder, and a curing agent. Typically, the composition further comprises an aqueous solvent (e.g. water) such that the composition can be referred to as an aqueous adhesive composition. The epoxy resin is typically encapsulated to prevent premature cure of the composition. After rupture of the encapsulated epoxy resin, the composition cures to form an adhesive. The composition is useful for articles such as fasteners (e.g. nuts and bolts) such that it can be referred to as a fastener adhesive. Typically, the composition is disposed on a threaded surface of the fastener. The fastener can be used for an assembly in which the composition generally cures after installation of the fastener. To make the fastener, the adhesive composition can be applied on the threaded surface. After application, the composition can be dried in instances where the composition still includes the aqueous solvent.

Adhesive composition and article including the same

A coating composition adapted for application on a fastener, the coating composition composed of a binder component composed of a polymeric resin present in the composition at a concentration between 1.0% and 15.0% by total composition weight, wherein the binder component is composed of at least one of a solvent dispersible compound; a reactive cross-linking component present in the composition in an amount between 1.0% and 80.0%; at least one curing agent; optionally at least one expansion agent, wherein at least one of the curing agent or the reactive cross-linking component are physically and reactively isolated from other components of the composition.

Multifunctional coatings for fasteners

A handling layer and adhesive parts having the handling layer are formed according to the present invention along with used therefore.

Handling layer and adhesive parts formed therewith

An adhesive material and articles incorporating the same is disclosed. The adhesive material includes at least three of epoxy resin; impact modifier; flexibilizer, blowing agent; curing agent; and filler. The adhesive material is preferably used for structural adhesion but may be used for sealing, baffling or reinforcing an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle.

Method of forming a toughened adhesive material

A decorative laminate that contains at least three layers that include a surface layer, a backing layer and a color layer positioned between the surface and backing layers. The surface layer or backing layer or both are made of flame retardant engineering thermoplastic materials.

Decorative laminates incorporating flame retardant engineering thermoplastic films

Adhesive material and adhesive parts are formed according to the present invention along with used therefore. The adhesive parts typically include a handling layer.

Adhesive materials, adhesive parts formed therewith and their uses

A method of sealing an interface, the method comprising: providing a sealant material, locating the sealant material adjacent to the interface, exposing the sealant material to an elevated temperature such that the sealant material flows adjacent the interface, and curing the sealant material to seal the interface.

Method of sealing an interface

There is disclosed a method of applying activatable material to a member of an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle. According the method, the activatable material is provided to an applicator followed by applying the activatable material to the member. Preferably, the activatable material is applied in a condition that makes the material suitable for allowing further processing or assembly of the member, the article of manufacture or both.

Method of applying activatable material to a member

An activatable material and articles incorporating the same is disclosed. The activatable material includes at least three of an epoxy resin; a thermoplastic polyether; a blowing agent; a curing agent; and a filler. The activatable material is preferably used for sealing, baffling or reinforcing an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle.

Activatable material for sealing, baffling or reinforcing and method of forming same

The method of adhering members includes positioning of an adhesive material between an attachment surface of a first member (e.g., a door beam) and a second member (e.g., a bracket). Thereafter, the adhesive material is at least partially cured to adhere the material to the attachment surface to form an assembly and the assembly is assembled to an article of manufacture (e.g., an automotive vehicle).

Method of adhering members and an assembly formed thereby

A structurally reinforced panel and a method of forming the panel are disclosed. The reinforcement includes a fibrous woven material in a bondable plastic matrix.
