Abstract: An improved patch and method of repair of the integrity and/or surface imperfections of a structure which is defective because of accidental damage or flaws during the course of manufacture or subsequent use and handling. The invention relates to the use of a fibrous cloth which is impregnated by a fast curing acrylic-based adhesive composition which is utilized with an activator/accelerator that can be applied to the margins of the faulty workpiece and thence to the overall impregnated cloth to quickly cure it at ambient temperature. The improved material provides good adhesion to a wide variety of materials including unprepared metals, painted metals, plastics and moist or oil contaminated surfaces and displays a high impact strength heretofore not found in such materials.

Abstract: A novel methacrylate-based composition is disclosed. The composition is preferably used as an adhesive. The composition comprises an acrylate-based or methacrylate-based ester monomer, a catalyst, a chlorinated or chlorosulfonated polyethylene polymer resin and a graft co-polymer resin. The chlorinated polyethylene polymer resin used includes organic sulfonyl chloride. The composition preferably further includes an acrylate-based or methacrylate-based acid monomer, and a catalyst activator. A preferred chlorosulfonated polyethylene polymer resin contains about 43 weight percent chlorine, about 1.1 weight percent sulfur, and about 34 millimoles sulfonyl chloride moiety per 100 grams thereof. Preferred graft co-polymer resins are ABS, MBS, MABS, ASA, all-acrylic, SA EPDM and MAS. More-preferred graft co-polymer resins are MABS, ASA, all-acrylic and MBS. Most-preferred graft co-polymer resins are MABS and ASA. A preferred methacrylate-based acid monomer is methacrylic acid.

Abstract: A polymerizable mixture for adhesive bonding is disclosed. The polymerizable mixture comprises a polymerizable acrylic-based material, a polymerizable epoxide-based material and a bifunctional molecular material reactable with said acrylic-based material and said epoxide-based material.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions comprising a solution of polymer dissolved in acrylic monomers containing an organic sulfonyl chloride, a polymerization catalyst and an accelerator.
