A primerless method for repairing a substrate surface that includes applying to the surface a curable filler composition that includes (i) an epoxy compound, (ii) a polythiol curing agent, and (iii) a catalyst and then curing the composition. The filler composition can also include a polyamine in addition to the catalyst.

Primerless substrate repair with polyepoxide and polythiol

A two-part, heat stable, peroxide-free adhesive that can be mixed in equal parts with rapid cure for the bonding of plastics and metals has been discussed. Part A of the adhesive contains a polymeric material, an olefinically unsaturated monomer, an acid material, a compound containing a sulfonyl halide group, and a compound containing a transition metal; and Part B contains a polymeric material (preferably a phenoxy resin) and monomer of the same class and a Zn, Cu or Cd metal powder.

Two-part adhesive for bonding plastics and metals

A one-component heat stable, adhesive for metal surfaces such as iron, zinc, copper, cadmium and their alloy will cure upon contact with the metal surface. The adhesive composition includes olefinically unsaturated monomer; at least one phenoxy resin together with other reactive or non-reactive polymers; an acidic material; a compound containing sulfonyl halide group; and a compound containing a transition metal, in particular TiO.sub.2. The adhesive composition cures rapidly upon contact with a metal surface to form an adhesive bond between the surfaces. The adhesive composition is especially useful as an adhesive for galvanized steel parts subjected to elevated paint curing temperatures.
