  • Patent number: 8388797
    Abstract: The invention is a system, or kit, comprising i) a stable solution or dispersion of a catalyst for the curing of a reactive adhesive system; and in a separate part ii) an uncured reactive adhesive system wherein the catalyst of part i) accelerates the cure of the reactive adhesive system. The reactive adhesive system can be a one or two-part system. In another embodiment, the invention is a method of bonding a reactive adhesive to a substrate comprising: a) contacting a catalyst for the curing of the reactive adhesive in a volatile solvent with the surface of the substrate to which the adhesive will be bonded; b) allowing the volatile solvent to volatilize away; c) contacting a reactive adhesive with the surface treated in step a) and d) allowing the adhesive to cure. This process is performed in the absence of a primer and a film forming agent.

  • Patent number: 6926949
    Abstract: The storable modular component, especially a storable glass module, is prepared for assembly by gluing to another component without using an additional assembly glue. Along its edge it displays a profiled bead of a latent reactive adhesive which includes predominantly one or more polyurethanes with blocked isocyanate groups, or one or more polyurethane preproducts consisting of polyols and/or polyamines and encapsuled polyisocyanates, or one or more polyurethanes with radically polymerizable groups. In this case the reaction of the adhesive can be initiated at an activation temperature of 70 to 180° C. At the same time, it remains tacky and nonflowing but plastically deformable for a time sufficient for assembly. The stated materials are capable of being activated by being supplied with electrical, electromagnetic or magnetic energy or by infrared radiation. The adhesive may contain magnetizable and/or electrically conductive fillers.

  • Patent number: 5620794
    Abstract: The invention provides a releasable adhesive joint between two elements. The two elements are fixed to each other by means of an adhesive bead or by means of two or more adhesive beads. The adhesive joint comprises a heatable separating member closely fitting the adhesive bead or embedded in the adhesive bead, or closely fitting or embedded in one of the adhesive beads. The heatable separating member looses the adhesion to the closely fitting parts of the adhesive joint or is destroyed upon heating the heatable separating member to a temperature at which the adhesive bead is not yet damaged, thus releasing the parts of the adhesive bead closely fitting the heatable separating member. This releasable adhesive joint is especially useful in fixing vehicle glass panes to a vehicle body frame.
