  • Publication number: 20240052204
    Abstract: A method for adhesively bonding two substrates, including the steps: (a) applying a liquid, radiation-curable primer composition onto the surface of a first substrate; (b) curing the liquid, radiation-curable primer composition by applying radiation with a suitable wavelength, intensity and temporal exposure such that the radiation-curable primer composition is cured into a solidified, coherent or interrupted layer adhering to the surface of the substrate; (c) optionally storing the primed substrate for a time of up to 6 months; (d) applying a curable adhesive composition onto the cured primer composition on the substrate; (e) joining a second substrate to the adhesive composition on the first substrate such that an adhesive bond is formed between the substrates, wherein the surface of the second substrate to be adhesively bonded is optionally pre-treated to improve adhesion before step (e) is performed; (f) curing the curable adhesive composition.

  • Publication number: 20170327299
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an assembly for pressing a pasty or fluid substance out of a film bag of a substantially cylindrical basic form. The film bag is or can be accommodated in a cylindrical receptacle having a circular inner cross-section A.
