Particulate Fillers

Objects may be bonded to target surfaces of a variety of materials, including rough surfaces, surfaces at temperatures down to -40.degree. F. and surfaces submerged under water, by securing a sheet of compliant material to the object, applying cyanoacylate to the exposed surface of compliant material and pressing the object against the target surface for a time sufficient to establish a cure of the cyanoacrylate adequate to support the object from the target surface.

Pastes of alpha-cyanoacrylic acid esters and insolluble fillers can be applied to surfaces submerged in water for securing thereto, in situ, a wide variety of metallic and non. metallic substances.

Pastes of alpha-cyanoacrylate acid esters and insoluble fillers can be applied to surfaces submerged in water for securing thereto, in situ, a wide variety of metallic and non-metallic substances.

A method for adhesively joining two members includes the steps of mixing non-compressible beads with an adhesive, applying the resulting mixture to one of the members and hemming one member over the other in overlapping relationship. Apparatus for performing this method includes a container for containing a mixture of an adhesive and a plurality of non-compressible beads, an applicator for applying the mixture to one of the members, and hemming means for hemming one member over the other in overlapping relationship.

A curable composition, in which powder of an organic or inorganic compound is added to and dispersed in a 2-cyanoacrylate and an acidic substance and a basic substance are contained as the stabilizer. In the curable composition of the invention, powder of organic or inorganic compound can be stably dispersed into the composition by the combined use of the acidic substance and the basic substance, thereby providing desired properties with ease while giving excellent storage stability and maintaing the instantaneous curing property of the composition.

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition for treating keratin fibers, for instance human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising at least one liquid organic solvent, at least one electrophilic monomer and at least one organofluorine compound comprising at least 4 carbon atoms, with the exception of polytetrafluoroethylene, and pigments coated with fluoro compounds.
