Formulations

The invention described herein comprises a two component sealant composition and process fro applying the sa,e for repair of ruptures, holes, cracks, etc., in hoses, pipes, tires, etc. The first component is alpha-cyanoacrylate glue which is applied as a layer covering the rupture or crack and after a very short period the second component, a powder, is applied to the surface of the alpha-cyanoacrylate.

This invention relates to alpha-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions and bonds formed therefrom. More particularly, our invention is concerned with adhesive formulations comprising monomeric esters of alpha-cyanoacrylic acid and vinyl aromatic compounds for bonding metallic or non-metallic surfaces to themselves or to each other and otherwise providing a superior bonded article.

A radiation-curable composition which includes a cyanoacrylate component or a cyanoacrylate-containing formulation; a metallocene component; and a polymerizingly effective amount of a photoinitiator to accelerate the rate of cure is provided.

The present invention provides a cyanoacrylate composition comprising a cyanoacrylate component; and a core shell rubber component having a particle size in the range of 3 nm to 1,000 nm dispersed in a curable (meth)acrylate matrix.

This invention relates to toughened cyanoacrylate compositions which exhibit improved peel strengths and fixture speeds. The toughened cyanoacrylate compositions include a toughening agent comprising poly(vinychloride-co-vinyl acetate) and poly(methylmethacrytlate).

This invention relates to cyanoacrylate-containing compositions that exhibit at least one of improved shock resistance and bond strength, while demonstrating relative surface insensitivity with respect to establishing and maintaining fixture times that are on the order of comparable cyanoacrylate compositions without the added carboxylic acids, The compositions include, in addition to the cyanoacrylate component, certain carboxylic acids.

The green strength of polymers produced by emulsion polymerization processes is improved through the use of carboxyl containing compounds. Specifically, the compounds are half esters of unsaturated dicarboxylic acids wherein the half ester moiety renders the carboxyl containing compound hydrophobic. As a result, carboxylic copolymers can be produced in emulsion polymerizations having a basic (pH.gtoreq.7.0) aqueous medium. Heretofore, use of carboxylic acids in emulsion polymerizations have been limited to acidic mediums.

The present invention relates to toughened cyanoacrylate compositions.

This invention relates to adhesive compositions particularly adapted for forming flexible adhesive bonds and is particularly concerned with adhesive compositions comprising a mixture of at least two different esters of alpha-cyanoacrylic acid.

Disclosed are cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions containing elastomeric polymers as fillers. Preferred fillers are the acrylic rubbers. Filler concentration range from about 0.5-40% by weight of the composition. Beneficial results include improved toughness of the cured compositions, as measured by impact, peel and tensile strength properties, particularly after exposure elevated temperatures which would ordinarily severely degrade the adhesive strength.
