  • Patent number: 4868229
    Abstract: An extrudable epoxy resin and curing agent that polymerize when mixed are separated by an extrudable barrier layer disposed between and in contacting relationship with the epoxy resin and curing agent. The material of the barrier layer is insoluble in the epoxy resin and curing agent while being dispersible in a mixture of them. The barrier layer material is selected from hydrogenated rosin ester, terpene phenolic resin, alpha-pinene resin and polybutene. The epoxy resin, curing agent and barrier layer have sufficiently similar rheologies at the temperature at which they are to be extruded from their container to ensure against intermixing until after they emerge from the container outlet.

  • Patent number: 4747517
    Abstract: Extrudable materials that polymerize when mixed can be stored in a dispenser that has no internal valve and contains a tubular cavity of uniform cross section and a piston with which the materials can be incrementally extruded. The polymerizable materials are separated by a barrier layer extending between the polymerizable materials over the length of the cavity. The material of the barrier layer is insoluble in each of the polymerizable materials while being dispersible in a mixture of them. The polymerizable materials and the material of the barrier layer have sufficiently similar rheologies at the temperature at which they are to be extruded from the dispenser to ensure against intermixing until after they emerge from the outlet.
