An improved approach toward the formation of an adhesive comprising a separated liquid component and solid component and application of the adhesive to a substrate immediately upon mixing the liquid and solid components.

Method for formation and application of adhesive

A rivetable adhesive for use in a joint between dissimilar materials, comprising a liquid epoxy resin, an expoxidized polysulfide, a flexibilizer, a solid epoxy CTBN adduct based upon bisphenol A, a phenoxy resin, an impact modifier including methacrylate-butadiene-styrene, a curing agent; and a blowing agent. The adhesive finds particular suitability for use in riveting aluminum panels to steel structures, such as for forming automotive vehicle roof structures.

Bonding dissimilar materials with adhesive paste

The present invention is predicated upon methods and devices for positively mounting structural members while preventing or substantially limiting exposure of such members to environmental conditions possibly leading to corrosion.

Structural mounting insert having a non-conductive isolator

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

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

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

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

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

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.
