Abstract: An ultraviolet-curable (UV-curable) adhesive composition is disclosed. The adhesive composition comprises: A) an epoxy curing agent component; B) a microencapsulated epoxy resin component; C) an expansion agent component; D) a binder component; and E) a photoinitiator component. The adhesive composition is useful for forming an adhesive. In various embodiments, the adhesive composition is in the form of a stick. The adhesive composition is useful for securing a fastener (e.g. in a borehole).

Abstract: A coating composition comprises: A) an epoxy curing agent component; B) a microencapsulated epoxy resin component; C) an expansion agent component; D) a binder component; and E) a solvent component. In various embodiments, components B) and C) are present in a weight ratio of from about 20:1 to about 1:20. An ultraviolet-curable coating composition comprises components A), B), C) and D). The ultraviolet-curable coating composition further comprises F) a photoinitiator component. After rupture of component B), the compositions cure to form an adhesive. The compositions are useful for fasteners (e.g. screws and bolts) such that they can be referred to as fastener adhesives. A powdered adhesive composition comprises components A), B) and C). The powdered adhesive composition is substantially anhydrous and/or substantially free of a solvent (e.g. component E)). The powdered adhesive composition is useful for securing a fastener (e.g. in a borehole).

Abstract: An adhesive composition (“composition”) comprises an epoxy resin, a binder, and a curing agent. Typically, the composition further comprises an aqueous solvent (e.g. water) such that the composition can be referred to as an aqueous adhesive composition. The epoxy resin is typically encapsulated to prevent premature cure of the composition. After rupture of the encapsulated epoxy resin, the composition cures to form an adhesive. The composition is useful for articles such as fasteners (e.g. nuts and bolts) such that it can be referred to as a fastener adhesive. Typically, the composition is disposed on a threaded surface of the fastener. The fastener can be used for an assembly in which the composition generally cures after installation of the fastener. To make the fastener, the adhesive composition can be applied on the threaded surface. After application, the composition can be dried in instances where the composition still includes the aqueous solvent.
