Patent number: 8962134Abstract: A sealant article useful for sealing a substrate surface having a first surface and a second surface is provided. The first surface comprises a deformable composition that is capable of conforming to a substrate surface when subjected to heat and/or pressure. The second surface of the sealant article has been at least partially cured by exposing said surface to an amount of radiation effective to induce at least partial curing of the second surface of the sealant article. Prior to such curing, the second surface also is comprised of the deformable composition. Such at least partial curing is effective to render the second surface less deformable than the first surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2009Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Patent number: 8288447Abstract: Expandable, thermally curable compositions containing at least one epoxy resin, at least one polyester, at least one blowing agent, and at least one curing agent are useful as adhesives and structural reinforcement materials. When foamed and adhered to a metal substrate surface, such polyester-modified foamable compositions can exhibit improved adhesion to the substrate surface after exposure to a corrosive environment, as compared to compositions that do not contain polyester. Furthermore, these compositions can exhibit improved flow properties in the uncured state at temperatures between 50 and 100° C. They are granulatable, with the granules produced thereby having non-tacky surfaces at room temperature and being capable of being readily processed into molded objects by injection molding processes.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2008Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Publication number: 20090104448Abstract: A first substrate may be joined to a second substrate using an adhesive body. The adhesive body is formed from an adhesive composition containing at least one epoxy resin, at least one heat-activatable curing agent, and at least one radiation-curable compound. A first surface of the adhesive body is exposed to an amount of radiation effective to cure at least a portion of the at least one radiation-curable compound present in proximity to such first surface, thereby rendering said first surface less tacky and/or more resistant to deformation. A second surface of the adhesive body is then applied to a surface of said first substrate. A surface of the second substrate is thereafter positioned proximate to or in contact with the first surface of the adhesive body and the adhesive body heated to a temperature effective to activate the heat-activated curing agent and induce curing of the at least one epoxy resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2008Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicant: Henkel AG & Co.
