A moisture-curing hot-melt composition comprising at least one isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer has improved sag-resistance while retaining high extrudability and is characterised in that the composition includes 1-17 wt %, preferably 3-6 wt %, of hydrophobic, siloxane-coated, fumed silica. Especially effective polyurethane hot-melt adhesive compositions are prepared containing 4-5 wt % of the hydrophobic, siloxane-coated fumed silica.

Moisture-curing polyurethane-based hot-melt compositions

Novel, improved adhesive compositions which are curable at ambient temperature to form adhesive bonds between substrates without external application of heat, light or other radiation. The adhesive compositions comprise one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds such as polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic acid esters, a source of free radicals, and an activator comprising a pyrazoline compound.

Adhesive compositions

Novel, improved adhesive compositions curable at ambient temperature to form adhesive bonds between opaque, impervious, substrates without external application of heat, light or other radiation. The adhesive compositions of this invention comprise one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers, a source of free radicals, and an activator comprising an azine dye material or the reaction product of an azine dye material with a reducing agent.

Adhesive compositions and method

The invention provides improved bonding methods and bonded laminates using multi-part adhesive compositions having first and second parts. The first part of the adhesive composition comprises free radical polymerizable monomers and a source of free radicals; the second part comprises an activator for initiation of polymerization of the monomer. According to the invention, flexible, activator carrying elements are positioned between layers of the first part to provide effective bonding between substrate surfaces which may be spaced apart from each other by relatively large gaps.
