  • Patent number: 11525559
    Abstract: A set including a plug connectable LED and a packaged photocurable composition. It relates also to methods for applying that article. The photocurable composition includes cyanoacrylate monomers and/or acrylate monomers, and a visible light photoinitiator system. The plug connectable LED, when connected to a host mobile device including a rechargeable battery, allows energisation of the LED so that it can be used as a convenient light source to cure the photocurable composition. The set itself does not comprise a battery or, batteries. The set is a versatile consumer product in the field of adhesives, fillers, sealants and coatings.

  • Patent number: 10626299
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fast and elastic adhesive. Said adhesive includes two components, one including a monomer having an alkoxyalkyl ester group, a thickener, a thixotropic agent and a stabilizing agent. In the other component, a plasticizing agent, a thixotropic agent, and an initiating agent are included. This adhesive can be used to practically instantaneously bond substrates that can move relative to one another, or which may be bent or have the ability to absorb an impact, or to seal.

  • Publication number: 20150075709
    Abstract: The present invention provides for curable compositions composed of one or more cyanoacrylate monomers, and one or more (co)polymers. The compositions of the present invention may exhibit pressure sensitive adhesion properties at 23° C. Subsequent cure of the compositions can be initiated as appropriate. For example, an external stimulus such as heat or radiation (e.g. UV cure) may be applied to induce cure of the composition when desired to do so.
