Abstract: Two-component adhesive-, sealing- or coating compositions are being described which are separately packed, and comprise the component A and the component D, whereby the component A is curing as soon as it gets in touch with water or the component D which contains the curing agent for the component A.The component D can be, or a component B containing an ingredient which is curing at the contact of water, or, possibly, at the contact with the component A, orthe component D can also be a mixture of solid matter and a volatile ingredient which is causing the cross-linking of the component A.The advantage of the novel two-component systems is that the component D is working as a curing agent for the component A, however, a surplus thereof is, or self-curing, or it does not leave a nuissance residue in the cured composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a glass body suitable for cementing to a further material. At the time of cementing, there is at least one profile of a cement on the glass body, and it is already solidified at the time of cementing and serves as a range spacer. Furthermore, there is a profile of a second cement on the glass body which cement is still moldable and has adhesive characteristics at the time of cementing. When producing the adhesive connection, the second cement is formed and pressed against the other material. Because the profile of the second, still adhesive cement is directly on the glass body or possibly a layer of a material impermeable to ultraviolet or, where necessary, an intermediate layer of primer, a very good adhesion can be achieved.
