The present teachings provide a method and composition related to two component epoxy phosphate ester based foam materials. The present teachings provide a method comprising: providing a two component system, the two component system including an A side and a B side, the A side including epoxy and the B side including phosphate ester and phosphoric acid; mixing the A side and the B side to form a resulting reaction product; wherein the resulting reaction product of the A side and the B side cures at a temperature of less than 50° C. The present teachings provide a composition comprising: a) a first component including epoxy; b) a second component including phosphate ester and phosphoric acid; and wherein a resulting reaction product of the first component and second component cures at a temperature of less than 50° C.

Two-component phosphate ester cavity filling semi rigid foam

A two-part system comprising a first component including one or more epoxy resins or epoxy-functionalized resins and a second component including one or more phosphate esters, wherein the first component and second component are liquid at room temp and upon mixing the first component with the second component at room temperature, a composition is formed that is solid.

Two-part phosphate ester epoxy composition

The present teachings contemplate a method comprising coating an polymeric material with a composition including a dicarbonyl compound and having a viscosity of from about 50 cps to about 500 cps, wherein the coating initiates either: (i) spontaneous polymerization (e.g., in less than about one minute) at room temperature of the composition without the addition of an initiator; or (ii) polymerization at room temperature at a selected later time with or without the addition of an initiator; and wherein the composition adheres or facilitates adhesion of the polymeric material to a substrate.

Malonates and derivatives for in-situ films

The present teachings contemplate a method for sealing comprising providing a substrate that includes a plurality of pores, locating a polymerizable composition onto a surface of the substrate, the polymerizable composition including a monofunctional, difunctional or multifunctional methylene malonate or a cyanoacrylate, and initiating polymerization of the composition, wherein polymerization is initiated by the use of an initiator or by the presence of a latent activating agent.

Polymalonate and cyanoacrylate based surface concrete sealers

The present teachings contemplate a method that includes a step of providing a first amount of esterified reaction product of an acid and an epoxy-based material. The esterified reaction product may be further reacted an epoxy resin to form a polymeric epoxy. The resulting material may have a generally linear backbone, foaming and curing capability and flame retardant properties.

Esterified acids for use in polymeric materials

A device and method for the protection of a first member and second member from corrosion by utilizing a connector that bonds the members without allowing direct contact of the members.

Panel connector devices

The present teachings contemplate a method comprising providing a first and second substrate, locating an initiator onto a surface of the first or second substrate, the initiator including a substance for initiating polymerization of a polymerizable adhesive, locating the polymerizable adhesive onto a surface of the first and second substrate, the adhesive including a monofunctional, difunctional, or multifunctional methylene malonate, or cyanoacrylate, and contacting first and second substrate.

Malonate and cyanoacrylate adhesives for joining dissimilar materials

An expandable material is shaped to form a part that can provide functional attributes such as reinforcement to a structure of article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle.

Shaped expandable material

The present invention relates to methods, materials, and products for forming a foamed product, comprising the steps of combining an epoxy-based component with an amine-based component. The epoxy component is cross-linked through a polymerization reaction catalyzed by the amine formulation. In this regard, an reactive mixture or exothermic reaction is created between the epoxy component and the amine component when combined. The heat generated by the exothermic reaction softens a thermoplastic shell of a blowing agent formulated within the epoxy component thereby enabling a solvent core within the thermoplastic shell of the blowing agent to expand from the heat generated by the exothermic or reactive mixture.

Two component (epoxy/amine) structural foam-in-place material

There is disclosed a system and method of employing a porous container for sealing, baffling, reinforcing or a combination thereof. According to the method, a porous container having one or more openings is provided. An expandable material is associated with the container and is preferably placed within the container. Thereafter, the expandable material is expanded to contact and adhere to a structure of an article of manufacture (e.g., an automotive vehicle).
