  • Publication number: 20210301183
    Abstract: An adhesive two-part formulation is provided that includes an amount of free-radical curable monomers, each of said free-radical curable monomers containing at least one acrylate moiety or at least one methacrylate moiety, a Lewis acid, a thermoplastic resin; and a polymeric impact modifier. Also present in the formulation is an amount of an activator of borane-amine complex, a metal accelerator; and a grafted elastomer with a thermoplastic additive. A process of applying the formulation to a substrate includes mixing together the formulation components such that each part has a storage stability at 50° C. for 30 days where the viscosity at 30 days is within 40% of an initial viscosity. The mixture is applied to the substrate and then allowed to cure to achieve an initial strength of at least 1 MPa lap shear strength within 45 minutes.

  • Patent number: 10301514
    Abstract: A two part adhesive formulation is provided that has an adhesive part including methylmethacrylate monomer, an antioxidant, a cure inhibitor, and a polyfunctional monomer amount of dimethacrylate monomer, trimethacrylate monomer, or a combination thereof. An activator part includes methylmethacrylate monomer, and a cure accelerator. A toughening agent and an impact modifier in at least one of the adhesive part or the activator part. The adhesive formulation is well suited for forming a wind turbine blade from two or more substrates.
