A sealant article useful for sealing a substrate surface having a first surface and a second surface is provided. The first surface comprises a deformable composition that is capable of conforming to a substrate surface when subjected to heat and/or pressure. The second surface of the sealant article has been at least partially cured by exposing said surface to an amount of radiation effective to induce at least partial curing of the second surface of the sealant article. Prior to such curing, the second surface also is comprised of the deformable composition. Such at least partial curing is effective to render the second surface less deformable than the first surface.

Sealant articles and compositions useful therein

The disclosure relates to using metal acrylate compounds such as zinc diacrylate (ZDA), zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA), among others for curing epoxy functional (and other cross-linking compounds), and to compositions containing such compounds for use in powder coat, film, adhesive, among other applications. ZDA and ZDMA containing compounds can cure the epoxy component of the compositions while being substantially free of conventional curing agents.
