Abstract: A two part adhesive formulation is provided that has an adhesive part including methylmethacrylate monomer, an antioxidant, a cure inhibitor, and a polyfunctional monomer amount of dimethacrylate monomer, trimethacrylate monomer, or a combination thereof. An activator part includes methylmethacrylate monomer, and a cure accelerator. A toughening agent and an impact modifier in at least one of the adhesive part or the activator part. The adhesive formulation is well suited for forming a wind turbine blade from two or more substrates.

Abstract: A two-part adhesive formulation is provided that has an adhesive part A and an activator part B. The part A includes a monomer amount of a methacrylate ester monomer, a crosslinker amount of a polyfunctional monomer, an anti-oxidant, a free-radical polymerization inhibitor, and an adhesion promoter system to improve cured adhesive strength to a substrate, an impact modifier and a toughening agent and a free-radical polymerization initiator. The part B includes an impact modifier, butyl rubber, methacrylate ester monomer, and a free-radical polymerization accelerator yet varies in the weight ratio used relative to part A. Each of the part A and the part B have separate storage stability of at least 300 days at 23° C. A process of applying an adhesive to a substrate is provided that includes combining together parts A and B to form an adhesive mixture and applying the mixture to the substrate and allowed to cure.

Abstract: An adhesive two-part formulation is provided that includes an amount of free-radical curable monomers, each of said monomers containing at least one acrylate moiety. Also preset in the formulation is an amount of a chlorosulfonated polymer; a Lewis acid; a polyfunctional monomer amount of dimethacrylate monomer, trimethacrylate monomer, an elastomer, a thermoplastic additive, or a combination thereof. A borane-amine complex is provided as an activator. A process of applying the formulation to a substrate includes mixing together the formulation components such that each part has a storage stability at 50° C. for 30 days where the viscosity at 30 days is within 40% of an initial viscosity. The mixture is applied to the substrate and then allowed to cure to achieve an initial strength of at least 345 kiloPascals (kPa) within 30 minutes and 40 minutes for adhesive:activator weight ratio of 1:1 and 10:1, respectively.
