Abstract: An emulsion of a crosslinking type comprises an oligoester-(meth)acrylate having at least two (meth)acryloyl groups in a molecule, a molecular weight of not more than 1000 per one (meth)acryloyl group, and a boiling point at a normal pressure of at least 200.degree. C and a polymer emulsion of an oil-in-water type.

Abstract: A nylon-base adhesive composition for metals is composed of 100 parts by weight of a mixture of nylon 11 and nylon 12 and about 2-40 parts by weight of nylon 6-12. The adhesive composition has excellent heat resistance and water resistance and is particularly useful for making cans. The properties of the adhesive composition can be further improved by adding thereto polyethylene, an ionomer, or a mixture thereof.A process for bonding steel sheets using the adhesive is also disclosed.

Abstract: Process for curing an oligoacrylate containing 3-6 acryloyl groups and at least one cyclohexene nucleus in the molecule and having an acryloyl group equivalent of not more than 1000, together with or without at least one other compound copolymerizable therewith, under the action of ionizing radiant rays in a molecular oxygen-containing gas to obtain a cured product from said oligoacrylate.

Abstract: A coated steel plate suitable for bonding with a polyamide adhesive comprising a steel plate having coated thereon (a) a composition comprising a thermosetting phenol resin and a bisphenol A type epoxy resin, the thermosetting phenol resin comprising the condensation product obtained on reacting under refluxing a phenol and formaldehyde in less than one mol per equivalent of the phenolic hydroxyl group in the presence of an alkali catalyst; (b) a composition comprising a thermosetting phenol resin and a bisphenol A type epoxy resin, the thermosetting phenol resin comprising the condensation product obtained by washing with water the condensation product obtained by reacting under refluxing a phenol and formaldehyde in less than one mol per equivalent of the phenolic hydroxyl group in the presence of an alkali catalyst and then heating the condensation product to temperatures above about 60.degree.

Abstract: A process for bonding steel sheets, e.g., into metallic cans, which comprises applying first a primer comprising 0.1 to 2.5 weight parts of a bisphenol type A epoxy resin having a mean molecular weight of more than about 800, preferably 2000 to 4000, and 1 weight part of thermosetting phenolic resin, which is obtained by heating an aqueous solution comprising phenol, orthocresol and formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst and reacting them with each other under refluxing conditions, on the surface of the steel sheets, heating the resultant steel sheets, and then bonding the steel sheets with a polyamide, and a primer composition for use in the process.

Abstract: A coated metallic sheet adapted for use in making a can for foodstuff or other container. This sheet can be made by coating, upon a material sheet, a composition of a resol-type thermosetting phenolformaldehyde resin and a bisphenol "A" type epoxy resin. In said phenol-formaldehyde resin, the ratio by weight of orthocresol to phenol is between 60:40 and 10:90. Said epoxy resin has a mean molecular weight of 800 or more and is used in an amount of 0.2 to 1.5 part by weight per 1 part by weight of said phenol-formaldehyde resin in said composition. This composition used for the sheet displays an excellent adhesiveness particularly with respective to the use of a polyamide type adhesive.
